write everyday

feels good to write, sometimes.

I have started 2 journals. Weird, but there’s one for the morning and one for night. Different sorts of thoughts in each. So far, while my family is on vacation, writing is easy. When they come back, I need to set aside time for writing and be disciplined about it.

Gotta work on this. I’m out of shape in writing, especially since I didn’t have much time during the school year.

This just isn’t happening for me right now. I know I can write, my professors tend to like my work, it’s just that I hate the feeling of writing something that I’m not proud of and I hate the struggle that it takes to turn a piece of trash into something worth reading. Maybe this means that at heart, I’m not really a writer?
I don’t know, I think I used to love it a lot more than I do now. Recently, writing just seems to be a big fat opportunity for failure.

Well, I’ve been rolling right along with this this week… 3 more weeks and I’ll make this goal ‘done’.

Two days ago I wrote about the Incredible Hulk trailer. Yesterday I wrote a review of The Birds. Today, I shall write some more! Huzzah!

I used to write everyday, I don’t know why I stopped.
I want to do this again, when I used to do it, I was calmer, more collective and more intuned with my inner self. Now I stopped, it’s been 3 1/2 years.

I really am. I graduated in ‘06 with my BFA in Creative Writing. I love writing. it purges my soul. I’m good at it. I’ve been published. I want to write a book. It is one of the things that makes me who I am. But I have put it on the back burner for my family and now I feel jiped and I am starting to resent them because of it.

I want to write everyday even if it isn’t anything more than this.

Whether it’s journaling, writing down my fears and frustrations, writing down ideas or lists, as long as I’m writing. I have to keep thinking to myself: I AM A WRITER! Well, it would help if I didn’t spend so much time “researching” the net!

stop expecting the first draft to be wonderful. just write. half of writing is editing and if you haven’t written anything you won’t have anything to edit. 3 pages a day from now on.
