| "Creativity Light" one of a pair hanging above my bed. |
Why do I not just give up? The simple answer is, I can’t.
While that is simple, the reason is not. It is a drive. A desire. A need. I
absolutely have to write down words. I have files in my cloud storage
filled with random paragraphs, ideas that sparked my interest in those moments
of writing need.
Sometimes my words in a day end up being complaints.
Frustrations that I can’t speak out loud. Worries about not getting things done
as they need to be. There is nothing wrong with that, but complaining is not
always fulfilling to my creative soul. It just ends up frustrating me more.
I honestly never really have writers block because I can
always write words. What I do have is creativity block, where my brain gets
overwhelmed and the interesting stories just can’t come out. I’ve been working
on trying to make those complaining and worrying paragraphs, located in a file
aptly called “Complaints Department,” into some sort of story collection. All
those words, those complaints, those worries will become something useful to
me.
This is why journaling is so important. If I can’t think of
a thing to write, I journal. I start my morning off every day that I can with journaling
about anything and everything. You never know what your mindless writing will
bring to you. Mine will hopefully become a book by the end of the year.
