This is my first blog entry!  I am so excited!  In the past, I have read other people's blogs and decided, what the heck!  Why not start one myself!

If you did not read my "About Me" section, my name is Wendy Legeret.  I was born in the lower Peninsula of Michigan and in 1976, my parents moved my brother and I up to the Upper Peninsula, or, as some have come to call it, "da U.P."!

The Upper Peninsula is a beautiful place.  Lots to do like taking walks along Lake Superior looking for agates, camping, "garage sale-ing", and fishing!  Of course, there is a lot more to do, but those are a few of my favorites!

So, who is Wendy Legeret anyway you ask?  I am a freelance writer and designer who is looking for her first paying job.  In 1999, I graduated from Northern Michigan University with a Bachelor of Science degree in English with an emphasis in writing. 

My love for writing started when I was in the fifth grade.  Growing up, I would take my journal, walk through the woods to a hill that had a small amount of trees around it but lots of grass.  I would sometimes sit for hours just thinking about what to write about but once I found my thoughts, I would jot them down so quick!  Since then, I have been writing short stories, screenplays, television scripts, poetry, and songs.  I've also been working on a romance novel for the past fifteen years, starting over and over!  I will get 100 pages into it, not like what I have, and then scrap it!  And you know what?  I still haven't gotten past page 100!  Maybe I'm being too picky!

Anyway, this blog will be something that will get me into the practice of writing again.  See, I haven't done much writing in a while.  For the past five years, I ran my family's live fish store - yeah, I know - a fish store???  Well, that was another dream of mine to own a pet store!  Now that it’s closed down, I will have more time to write again.

Till next time!

Today I ran my first race in the Norway Spring Classic - not the 10K run, but the fun run!  LOL  It was only two miles, but with me being an asthmatic, I was impressed with 30:16 as my time.  Next year, I'll run it - not walk and run!

Till next time!
