I am writing anyway

-
Yesterday I was home and I spent most of the day working on my book.  I have always thought of writing a book, but, it was just a thought, until three weeks ago.  That was when my heart was broken, did I say broken?  No, I meant shattered. As a way to escape the pain, I decided to put my feelings, my thoughts in writing, tell my story.  And that’s how it began.

I am presently on page fifty and I hope to be done with the writing soon and start rewriting, editing.  I never thought it would be easy, and I have discovered just that.  The experience is bittersweet. 

I have doubts about my abilities, however, I will not be deterred, I will continue to write.

Frolick, even when you are made fun of. Kiss, even when others are watching. Sleep, even when you're afraid of what the dreams might bring. Run, even when it feels like you can't run anymore.  And, always, remember, even when the memories pinch your heart. Because the pain of all your experience is what makes you the person you are now. And without your experience---you are an empty page, a blank notebook, a missing lyric. What makes you brave is your willingness to live through your terrible life and hold your head up high the next day. So don't live life in fear. Because you are stronger now, af...

The Voice!

It is another day, and, with another day, comes the feeling of wanting to be alone. I didn’t want to get out of bed and head to work. However, I forced myself and I am out I popped in to Krispy Kreme, like I do every day. Well, almost every day. I ordered a small coffee, and, cinnamon raisin bagel, with cream cheese. With my coffee in my right hand, me approaching a table to sit, I clearly heard that voice in my head, saying, “Get up! Get up!”   Kinda reminded me of that scene from the movie, Matrix, when Trinity said, “Get up, Trinity.  Get up!”. However, the ‘get up!’ in my case isn’t in the literal sense, but figuratively. I am emotionally drained, and, at some point, I need to snap myself out of it, and live. That’s what that voice was encouraging me to do. Get Up!

Trying to write about your unexciting life.

Have you ever tried to write a book, and while writing, you think to yourself, this is rubbish.  Nobody's going to buy or read this.  Well, that's how I am feeling right now.  I am trying to tell a story, but it's not flowing, it doesn't sound exciting.  I keep asking, how do I make my boring life exciting on paper?
