This first First

Hi! This blog is the first home for my book, The Oat Project, a memoir about sowing my wild oats late. A simple plan to get drunk for the first time, at 37, turned into a 14-week project in which I did 24 things that I'd never done before...starting with marijuana. I thought it would be stupid, silly, and girl-fun. But facing down heavy-duty embedded fear that much, in that short a time, brought on transformation. I am now more about "bring it" than "avoid it."

The book is my life, too, though. So you'll find discoveries, fascinations, and musings here, all about integrating the Wild. Please feel free to participate!

I just quit my job (more on that later) and will be writing full time starting this Monday, sending to agents by the end of three weeks. If I knew you through work at the Colorado Springs Independent, thank you so very much for enriching my life. Thank you for the same if we met elsewhere. :-)

That's all for now. Back to prepping my house/life for hitting the writing life at a run on Monday.

A question for you: What have you never done that you think you couldn't do now?
