I had starved myself of words

Oh boy. I was startled. Thought I had written a bit. Then came to see I had been distracted all day with words for others. Government documents. Legal documents. Meeting notes. But no words for me. I had starved myself in a way. Deprived myself of my own words for my own serenity. My words which provide me a reprieve, a retreat, a refuge. I need to write and express myself. It’s like a limb that needs exercising. Otherwise, the day goes by in which I didn’t truly share a bit of my being. But, here I am. Here are a few words to share. My angst. My need for my fingers to engage in word vomit.

  1. As a novelist, the non-fiction words come freely every day (I seem to write thousands), but the fiction ones are slow. Not painful – just slow from the dripping faucet of the damaged brain.

    Creating fiction requires more energy than I have many days, but I patiently sit at the computer and see if I can remove any obvious barriers that make it worse.

    I feel your pain – wanting what you don’t have is hard.

    When you notice, see if you can do something to fix it – even for a day.

    You don’t stop being a writer except by quitting, but there has to be some reward in it for you to feel good.
