Welcome to my blog, GraphiteFree! I have been blogging on and off for almost 15 years. It isn’t much more than an online journal for my random thoughts. I have found it therapeutic over the years and hope to continue in the future.
Why a blog?
Spell check is the simple answer. I love to write and I enjoy compiling information in my journal. But years from now, after my death someone will read my journal and come to the conclusion that Delta State University should take away my Bachelors of Science in Education because of my poor spelling and sentence structure. With a blog, I can have someone proof my writing.
Why GraphiteFree for the title?
Everyone who knows me knows how I love to use Dixon Ticonderoga’s world famous #2 pencils. Graphite is the main component of a pencil core. This online journal is definitely free from pencil markings. My love of pencils is why I selected an image of a Dixon Ticonderoga on my journal as the original image on GraphiteFree.
What will I write about?
There will not be a running theme on GraphiteFree, but I will write about many, many topics. I have had a variety of jobs and learned a few skills throughout the years. I once enjoyed talking politics, but ever since 2016 it isn’t something I can talk about… maybe I should write about it. But mostly I write about me and my adventures through life.
Things to remember…
I invite all to read, comment, or correct my spelling. I will cover a variety of topics and useless information. I will tell stories, talk triathlon, share my love of beer and pizza, or just reveal my secrets to Wordle. This will not be one of those blogs consisting only of family anecdotes. I promise never to post ads or try to make this a money making venture. If I bore you, simply stop reading.
