To Write, or not To Write?
I'm not so sure anymore.
I still enjoy writing, but I have fallen so far away from it that I'm not sure how to find my way back.
I have been reminiscing about my past lately, and going through all of my old short stories and discarded ideas. A lot of them have potential, if I could only focus and finish. I know that I am not alone in this problem, but it is a problem nonetheless.
Unfortunately, inspiration only comes when I am at my most emotional (and usually negative emotions are what drive my writing); but most writers give the advice to try to write through your slumps - to fight for every word.
I have written a lot about motivation, so I won't beat this into the ground.
I just want to find my writing groove again. I want to someday be able to inspire readers the way my favorite authors inspire me. I want to share my thoughts with the world!
So,
To Write, or not To Write?
What do you think?
Yes, write!! Don't rush it or feel bad about being behind. It happens to all of us for different periods of time. Start with a sentence here or there. Take out 20 minutes to see what happens.
