Its been a while
20 August, 2009Wow. I can’t believe its been so long.
All I know is that I have missed writing. Missed it badly. I have everynow and again picked up my book and started writing something… but it always seems flat. As though its missing something… You know, the something that makes it interesting. The something that makes it readable… And I realise that I seem to have lost the, not that passion, but the desire… no, not even the desire. I still do want to write, I really enjoy doing it… and the more you do it, the better it gets! And I miss it.
After so many months of no practicing, what I’ve written down lately is missing feeling. Its missing passion. Because I’ve forgotten where to start and I seem to have left my imagination behind… as I get more clinical and technical and logical at work, my creative side seems to close up on me and hide from me… but… this weekend is going to be spent scrap booking!!! Being creative!!! I will dig deep and find the creative again! And perhaps… perhaps I might once again start writing here regularly…
but whatever you do… don’t give up… I am still here, I do still come and visit and read… I am still here…
Hey there
. I’m so happy to see you post something again, you have no idea! I’ve missed you 
.
I know how you feel. When we get deeply into one aspect of our lives it’s hard to back away and do other things as well. It’s hard to pick up a pen [or keyboard] and write when you don’t feel in the mood. All I can advise is to go slowly – maybe keep a diary for a while just to get the feeling of the pen flowing and the thoughts coming out onto paper back again.
Heya SI!!! Thanks for the “welcome back”! I’ve missed you too… and hopefully I’ll be here a little bit at a time!!!
Oh wow. I’ve had the same problem as you.. Have not written anything for months because there has not been any inspiration for me to do it. Just like you I’ve started writing but never felt like it was good enough, something was missing, there was no substance in my words and it was frustrating..
I missed it so much, because i felt like i lost myself a bit when i did not have the desire to write anymore. My feelings got locked up in my head and had nowhere to go.. SO, i decided to do something about it. I sat down and wrote. And i published. And it felt super good
The hard part is to keep it up now. But with babysteps i’m going to make it work – because without writing i am not whole..
Best of luck to you, and please please keep writing. You got too much to tell to keep it for yourself
