Further Explanations

Hello again,

Remember I said that I was going to drag thoughts and verbiage out of the basement, sweep the attic of its cobwebs and let the light shine on all that was and has been in the last 5 years.  I think that it is important to release my words, no matter how repetitive, out into space.  Let them return to the ether where they came from originally with hope that in the future my mind will be filled with creative stuff again.  Wow, that sounds judgmental…I suppose it is and thus another reason to release all that was…and no longer is. 

I write all the time.  I produce an email newsletter, I write non-fiction for myself…I am supposed to be editing a friend’s manuscript and writing for another friend, doing research.  It has often felt like pulling teeth…and I’ve asked myself often, am I a writer, do I even like to write.  Without a dream, it is hard to be motivated.  Without motivation even when one must do something, it isn’t any fun.  Writing used to be fun, now it is often just something I do.  I’m tired of processing, I’d like to get back into my creative soul.  Or maybe, the time for fiction writing is over, I’ve thought to myself…but I still see beauty in the world and surely, the words, the desire to communicate how that feels and inspires is still in there somewhere.  No more excuses.  Although, there is wisdom for all in my story…I don’t need to be telling it over and over again.  With it out there, I can just point to my blog.

Over this week, there will be a dump of ‘stuff’, of words that I’ve written over the last couple of years as part of the process.  They may all sound the same.  I am sorry.  Each post was written a year or two apart, thus I am saying some thoughts over again, only with maybe a tiny bit more wisdom or understanding. 

Maybe these will assist, if not, that’s ok…my goal, as I stated above, is to just do a clean sweep of these thoughts and get them out of my space and into the world.  Just warning, ya….

Much love to all, people, creatures, thoughts and ideas…may they bring joy to the world.
