We all know how wishy washy I am. We all know that I am desperate to find something to hold my place, that is all my own. But what you don't know is that I have kind of found it, though lazily. Through this blogging adventure, and since completing my English course last summer I have found a rekindled love for the written, "typed," word. Even though I am rusty at this whole thing, and I find some days easier to write than others I like to think that I am a writer.
I remember when I was in school how easily everything seem to come to me, how easily and beautifully a sentence would be created in just pure moments and without struggle. I remember writing poetry everyday, stories by the ton. What happened? What can't I seem to do that now?? Is is just the constant interruptions I seem to get in a day with these kids? Is it life just getting in my way? Am I getting in my way?
I would like to make a promise to myself. To write. Just better. To take the time to really think about each sentence I type. Granted of course I am not doing a review and all that. Though I promise to give them and most of my posts some more literary merit. I shall try that is all I can do. I am not perfect, I don't plan to pressure myself to write everyday; if I do then I don't think I will end up accomplishing what I came to do. Now all I have to do is find something good to write about, I am sure it will come to me. In the mean time I have these blogs, I have all of you and I have your great ideas to help spark some inspiration!
For those of you who write up a storm, hell who are even published; what do you do, what have you done to be a writer?? Just curious about that defining moment from you to "writer-you" kinda thing.
I have been bouncing around some ideas on themed days etc to help myself along. Perhaps using the alphabet to do one, each day can be a different emotion or something. I have no idea i'm just trying to come up with something fun to do. I have heard thru the grape-vine about a theoretical "in-law bitch-fest" that I think would be fun. You know for those of you poor wives that have in-laws that actually read your blogs lol!!
Ending; wish me luck; with my writing and with my job hunting endeavors lol, which I guess I haven't touched on at all in this post till this moment. For another day I guess.

Aaahh, I know the feeling all too well. You could have described what I'm feeling to a "t". I posted a similar question about what it takes to be a writer and everyone told me that I need to is write. So, that's all I'm gonna keep doing.
Good Luck!
good luck to you too hun!!
They say you will be successful if you do what you love.....
whatever you come up with will be great:) i seen a quote yesterday on twitter that said something like you can't be good at something unless you do it..and you'll do it good! just sit down and start writing your heart out! xo
Ditto as well, I want to write, but about what, and when to find the time...I think when we were young, with less responsibility we had more time to just sit and think and imagine and let our thoughts flow through pen to paper. Also, growing up lots of the feelings we felt we were feeling for the very first time, so they came so powerfully that it was impossible not to convey that passion. Nowadays it's all 'been there, done that'. Are we bland as adults?
I used to have a cute little set of writing 'assignments' I planned to do, saved in an email that's since been lost :( A little elementary but designed to spark creativity it was things like 'put a bunch of items in a bag. Pick out 6 and create a short story about them'. If I find them again I'll share!
I would love to see those stories!! And you are so right we are dull now :(... the saying "youth is wasted on the young," is so true... lol
