Your Literary New Year’s Resolution Should Include “More Writing,” and Here Are 12 Reasons Why
I love that article! I believe in all the points it makes.
Writing I Like–The Mundane
Actually writing I like to do. It seems I really enjoy writing the mundane stuff. I truly do. I can rip (riff) off 1000 words about nothing or next to nothing in no time. I love writing my blog, my little memories. They don’t have any huge meaning but it is comforting for me to put down some of what has happened…and not even the more interesting or dramatic stuff. The drama in my life tends to piss me off when I write about it because I have so little control over it and it rarely is MY drama, or caused/started by me. It is always somebody else’s STUFF and I am pretty powerless in dealing with it other than to retreat into myself–to become a hermit. To just say NO! and shut certain people out of my life. I hate shutting people out but I also tend to keep them at an arm’s length if I can. I enjoy being alone or spending time with just my husband—less drama that way–and I like being at home or in favorite familiar places. I can’t say I absolutely love it because I do like to talk to people, to hear their stories, and I do like to be adventurous and travel (though it stresses me at times), explore new places. I just get so tired in the drama cause my the usual, familiar people– people that are too familiar and like to trample your peace because they are not at peace with themselves and their life…
On one hand I feel I need to say NO more, I need to take back certain parts of my life. On the other hand I want to open up more, be around people more…I just need more energy.
