Good Evening Fellow Writers,
I will admit that it has been about one month since the last time I wrote something that was for me. I was incredibly busy and exhausted all the time, I would write down little snippets during class, but nothing more and I never made anything of those little babbles I had created. I missed it, I really did. I hated that I didn’t have the time or energy to write, but not I feel that I have been given a long enough break from writing that everything will flow very nicely like it is in writing this.
Sometimes admitting that you have failed to engage in the writing you so desperately wanted to pursue can feel like failure or it can feel like you are admitting defeat and believe me I felt that way at first too, but not I am realizing that it may have been good for me. My ideas may have been bottled up, but the important ones never left my mind, no instead they brewed inside my head along with information for my lectures. The two swirled inside my head for weeks and they seem to have created something new and something more inspiring.
Sometimes taking a break and living life is what you need to do so you can learn something and create something entirely new and beautiful and more creative than before. That month was a very dark time for me and my writing, but I feel that I have detoxed before getting back to my game and hopefully I will have slightly more time for my writing in the near future to pursue the new ideas that have been lately brewing inside my mind just waiting to be discovered and written down and turned into something amazing.
Remember writers, you are never alone even if you are by yourself. You will always have your characters, you will always have your fellow writers to back you up and you will always have yourself. Those are very important things and those things can never truly leave you, you just have to be willing to notice they are there. And we will always be here waiting until you decide you are ready. Happy writing!
P.S. and to those who are also struggling to get back into writing don’t worry, I believe in you enough for the whole world. I will always be in your corner. Don’t give up.
Rose Marie
