How to start writing again:
Write for yourself
Go to a poetry slam
Take a shower
Don't think too much
Pick up the pencil
Don't try to make things sound fancy and beautiful
Write for yourself
Put your socks on
Be real/say what you feel
Realize we can't all be Sarah Loveday
Stop feeling like you have to write something to save people
Write for yourself
Make time to write
Try not to be afraid of what others might think
Stop trying to impress Nelson
Try not to be afraid of what's inside of you
Stop comparing your writing to other people
Write for yourself
Listen to Coldplay
Crack your knuckles
Avoid labels
Take your socks off
Write for yourself
Press Publish
Breathe.

"Write for yourself" I know I shouldn't, but I'm still kind of struggling. I love that the first song on your playlist is A Beautiful Mess. I love your personality and how your writing is so many wonderful things but also fun. If it makes any sense, I've had fun reading your posts. Fun that makes me think, this is what "goodness" is.
ReplyDeleteSmart.
