I'm a blogger not a writer
OK I can't really even call myslef a blogger seeing as how this is my second blog...ever. I just recently read in a magazine a short blurb saying that bloggers were not really writers and maybe that it true. It might possibly be the best thing about a blog. I have a degree in English. When I try hard I know how to use a comma and spell really big words (proud 5th grade spelling bee champ) but like I say I am not a writer. In my third trimester of pregnancy I have developed a rare liver disorder called intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy. Translation...an itch all over that is a real bitch. In addition to the itch it can cause real problems for the unborn child including cranial hemorraging and stillbirth. Needless to say I have spent countless nights scratching off my skin and stressing (#1 thing not to do) over whether the baby is even going to make it. So now I have found my outlet, a brief distracting rest from the restlessness, I blog. If I were writing a paper on Marx or Tennyson or even Shakespeare I would not feel so good. It is comforting to know that I am sending these words into the night for everyone or quite possibly no one to read and it won't come back with red marks all over and a paragraph of comments about how I could do so much better if I only tried. I don't have to try... I am only blogging.
