Since starting this blog, the thing I have resisted the most is getting too personal with my postings. I’m not sure if I am quite ready to share much of my real personal life. Just a hang-up I have. Of course with as few people as there are that read this,I wouldn’t be sharing with too many  anyway. 😀

Events in the near past have made me even more shut down when it comes to talking about things of a personal nature. Maybe some of you know about it, maybe you know only pieces. My silence on such matters is probably not a good thing for my mental state, but then again, that is what led me to start writing once more. And I am so very glad for that.

I am more likely to talk about depression in general, less of a problem for me than getting into my specific story. And luckily more people have an understanding about issues of mental health than they used to. It seems to be one of those things of once you know someone who is going through it, it is easier to gain empathy for it. Not always, of course. There are still people out their who don’t understand the difference between being depressed and having depression, but the change in attitudes is trending in the right direction.

But beyond my personal struggles with mental health, I have a bit of a block when it comes to posting certain things on here. One on one and there are a million things I will talk your ear off about, but here, still not sure. Also, many personal thoughts are and will be in the fiction writing if you care to notice. Another great thing about that outlet for me.

As for how I will go about this in the future, who knows? Much will depend how my little corner of the net grows and what kind of interaction I am having with the reader. New comments will come in, new questions (and then I will have to a have a real FAQ) and different interactions will determine future paths. And that I am truly looking forward to.

To sum up, more to come. Thanks for taking the ride with me.
