What do you do each day that doesn't contribute to your writing
The answer to this question is probably the same as the answer to a lot of questions that I ask myself. It's me, I keep myself from writing. Okay so I'm not a wrighter per- say, but fill in the blank. It's the same thing that keeps me from sitting in my studio and getting through this "block", from moving on in areas in my life that need some movin on from. I do it by being busy. Anyone in my life can tell you, I'm eternally busy. Don't get me wrong, I love what I do, I've been involved with some great projects and met tons of people along the way, which is part of what keeps me going. But the follow up part is were I'm lacking. The part where I sit down and reflect and process. I've had times in my life when I've missed out. I felt like everything was going faster and better than me, that I couldnt catch up, I let everything pass me by. I had to change everything and with that went the stopping. I want to take-in as much as I can, I missed enough. But now I'm questioning if my method is working. If I can't take the time to enjoy what I've done, to sit with myself, to call one of those people that I met and have an actual connection with them. Is it working? I've learned about myself that I'm a Person of extremes. I always have been, it's just one of those things that took me a long time to learn, and I need to keep learning it.

The first of the daily prompts:
-Encapsulate the year 2010 in one word- Swampy. Not really sure what it means to have a swampy year, just it's not bad but hard to trudge through. Great things have happened, frustrating things have happened, there has been some sadness, but over all I feel like there has been a fog around my head. Like one of those days that you just never quite wake up. This has nothing to do with the fact that I'm on my way to New Orleans and just finished watching Harry Potter, both very swamp-sentric. If I could choose a word for the new year, maybe "bright", just a reprieve from the fog. (I'll be able to come up with a better word next year) |
