Waiting, Thinking, Sleep

Last night I went to bed tired and exhausted, but ready for sleep. I pulled down the covers, slid onto the soft bed, and nestled into the perfect postion with my pillows and blankets cushioning me. Then, I closed my eyes and waited. Waited for sleep to take me over. About a half hour later, I rolled around peered at the clock and realized that I wasn't asleep but still waiting for the phenomena of sleep to occur. Eventually, I got tired of waiting, so I laid there and thought for a long time. I thought about a lot of things, some more important than others, but all thinking still the same. I thought about the fact that when your extremely tired often (for me anyway) its harder to fall asleep. I thought about how I would write about this in my new blog. I thought and thought until suddenly my mom shook me on the shoulder telling me to take the car down to "Master Muffler." Blast! Did I ever sleep? Or was I thinking so much my mind just went blank? I'll never know. I hope tonight, there won't be so much waiting so I can skip the thinking.

The Purpose

To be completley honest, I don't know what compelled me to create my own blog. I was just sitting on the coach, busy reading posts off of other blogs and before I knew it I was picking a template for my very own. So here it is, The Writers Atelier.
For those of you who don't know, Atelier is defined as a workshop, or studio. T hus came the inspiration for the purpose of my blog. This is my writing workshop. I decided that if I want to become a better writer I should probably write a lot, and then write some more. And although I like writing the old fashioned way, a blog will hopefully break up the monotony of a pen and hand cramps, as well as hopefully provide me with some constructive critiscim on my posts from those of you willing to read. So here goes nothing...
