Getting Started?

This is my first experience as a blog. So here I go. Getting started seems to be the most difficult thing to do but once the first step is taken then it seems to be the most joyful experience in the world.
There are times when ideas don't come and I can't see the forest for the trees. For me--writing backstories for each character has connected them in strange and unusual ways. I have found out about their motives and reasons for existence and then they might tell me what they want to say and do. 
This may sound slightly schizoid but I couldn't really look at the piece as a whole or write much of anything until I did some background research and stories on the people in the play.
This particular piece I have been working on for a while. I have now got to a point in my life where I can use my time to write and rewrite. (I have never been able to just put it all down in one go.)
I really look forward to this opportunity to listen to other ideas and points of view about life, the universe and everything--and to get feedback and direction. 
I don't know yet about this blog thing but I suspect it will help me move further into the twenty-first century. I am a dinosaur (one of the little fast ones) when it comes to all the technology AND have decided not to let that stand in my way.
So here goes.
