I Tweet, Not Blog.

Well, I was never in creative writing.  I'm pretty funny in person and in real life, but actually writing the things that happen to me or thoughts that I have would be a stretch!  Over and over again I have said, "this is not real life" or "of course this happens to me!"  But-- I tell those stories, not write them.  If I'm not confident in this process-- then why am I doing it??

I've noticed a lot of traveling consultants that I have met talk about starting blogs about their travels.  They like to keep family and friends informed of where they are, what they are doing, and this is a way to remind them in the future of great or not so great things they were a part of.  Well-- that is what my not one, but two Twitter accounts are for.  So-- blogging is not for me. 

As I started traveling, however, I noticed one common theme in stories that I was telling people as I arrived to destination.  It was not about the awesome land mark I saw, or the terrible customer service I may have had.  It was about the people who had the pleasure of sitting next to me on the airplane.  What characters-- all with a different story and personality.  As I got a few flights under my belt, I had stories and stories to tell friends about these interesting people, and unfortunately, I could not fit these stories in 140 characters.  So there it was. The urge to start a blog. 

Debbie from Jade knows I enjoy the Window seat.  That way I can lay my head, and check out where we are going.  So...... who gets the aisle seat?
