Now that I’m taking my creative writing career more serious, I have to admit that writing is hard.
Its been a while since I actually sat down and worked long hours on a piece of fiction. I graduated from school 2020 and I think it was the four year break trying to find myself and what brings me the most joy that hindered my progress. Ok, I’m going to be real with myself. It was the four year break trying to break into streaming, podcasting, and YouTube video content that held me back. I lost a lot of my ability to write and imagination under stress. I also went back to school for healthcare IT and actually learned nothing. I gained nothing from those four months of quick studying that I’m not even going to bother taking the exam for certification.
All that time I could’ve been writing.
Writing is hard because I haven’t been reading as much as I use to. Words and phrases that make powerful sentences are hard to put together. It feels as if I’m dusting off a once beloved machine and turning it on after years of being inactive. The gears are turning, but they’re a bit rusty.
Writing is hard for me, but I’m making it a habit everyday to sit in front of my computer and type out something. The goal is to write at least five hundred words a day in a journal entry, blog post, or a paragraph in my upcoming book. I know it will get easier overtime because writing fiction is my passion.
Pinterest helps! I found a lot of writing resources like plot or character templates. I use quite a few of them outside of my own methods.
This is just a short informationally written blog entry on how its going for me right now. I promise to do more to keep me going in this creative writing journey. I would like to start a podcast somewhere down the line on writing or go back to recoding videos of me on my concept art. Anything to keep my inspired and motivated because sharing my work in progress does push me to keep going. Maybe when I get more time. I do have a family to take care of, but God does provide open slots of uninterrupted time for me to be creative.
For now I’m getting back into the swing of things starting with blogging. Social media is starting to change, but that’s a topic for another post.
Ok. I’m rambling now. Ttyl. Happy writing.
