I have to admit that when I first started with the FINDERS KEEPERS web site–heck, before I started, when it was just a concept–I really didn’t want to do it. Actually, it’s not so much that I didn’t [i]want[/i] to do it, I had no idea [i]how [/i]to do it, what the process would be like, or what I was supposed to do once the site was finished.

Just thinking about coming up with this site–and then maintaining it–made me, I’m ashamed to say, a bit of whiner. Not so much out loud, just internally. It seemed daunting and required more effort than I wanted to invest. I wanted this whole getting published thing to be easy.
Yeah right.
But then a funny thing happened. As soon as I started to design the site with Ron (the site’s webmaster), and it started coming together, I got into it. I got inspired. And since then I’ve been tweaking the site almost daily, probably driving Ron crazy with a million little changes that I think will make the site more friendly. (There’s still a few more little things to get to … d’oh!)
Now I look forward to maintaining this site. The idea of blogging regularly–heck, at all–kinda freaked me out in the early days, and now I can’t stop myself. (I guess that’s what happens when you love to hear the sound of your own voice; or read your own words).
But more importantly for me, I like the idea that this site is a vehicle–a place–to communicate with you guys. That there’s a forum here to connect us all, wherever we are. That’s what this is about for me. It’s a place to have a community, so that, even though we might be in different parts of the country–or the world–we can still be a part of each other’s lives, having a few laughs.
Pretty cool.
I hope you like all the message board options and new content on here. I’ll do my best to keep things interesting, and you’ll certainly be the first to know once FINDERS KEEPERS is published.
Once I sober up after what will be a major celebration!
