Dear Reader,

Thank you for your interest in this site. As someone who spends an awful lot of time in my head and who also enjoys finding just the right word for every occasion, I have often flirted with the idea of putting my thoughts down on the page for others to read. I’m a librarian; I like to organize information. The way I see it, writing is a way to organize my thoughts. So it makes sense to me to give this a shot, beginning now…December of 2021.

I look forward to the process of writing. I’m a musician and a visual artist (first-timer), so while creativity is familiar territory, to include writing in that same category–specifically writing for an audience as opposed to journaling for my own reflection–will be something new. I expect there will be a fair amount of editing by my inner critic, not only to ensure the writing is good but also to make sure I don’t forget I have an audience.

I hope you find something meaningful here. If anything speaks to you personally, I’d love it if you’d let me know. You can leave a comment or shoot me an email at karen@whynotwriteitdown.com. I’ll admit it’s a little scary to put myself out there, but I think it will be gratifying too. Your feedback will guide me and I look forward to connecting with you.

Karen
