My "Aha!" Moment

Omg, I am soooo excited right now!! I have a thought AND a start up for a poem!! It came to me in my sleep and as a fleeting thought the other day!! It's been nagging at me to write it, so I think that that is exactly what I'm going to do!! I think I'm going to write the poem down so that I don't lose it!! I am way too happy about this because I have had writer's block for a couple of weeks now (hince the reason I haven't posted anything recently). So this is a complete break-through for me and anyone who knows how it feels to have a severe case of writer's block. I can't wait to get back to writing again and when I do, I might even post a little something something for you to read ;^)

Writer's Block... Again...

Well it seems as though I have hit a roadblock of sorts... I have soooo many ideas... Ideas on top of ideas and then some... BUT, I don't have any WORDS for these ideas... No way to describe them... Therefore, it looks like I have, once again, stumbled across a major case of writer's block... ARGH!!! I HATE WRITER'S BLOCK!!!

What to do, what to do??

Floating Into Space...

So after a looong and drawnout thought process, I've decided NOT to write about the issue.. Why allow something so trivial to take up so much of my mental space?? Exactly my point... There are other things out there to write about...

I was actually thinking of writing about something more positive or even something that makes you think... But to be honest, I haven't had the time to actually sit down and write my thoughts out... Yes, I have found time to write in this blog, but that is different... It doesn't require much... It's not an intricate nor an intimate process... My writing reflects me... Or parts of me anyway... So I'm still debating on what to write about because I REALLY want to write about something!! I just don't know what that something is going to be....

However, there are many unfinished poems on my computer and in my notebook... Hmmm... Maybe I should finish up those poems... Who knows....

The Elephant In The Room...

(Sigh) So it seems like there's this huge issue that I want to write about, but I cannot find the words... It's been heavy on my heart and draining of my soul for the last few days... I've even prayed about the issue to God and he's given me clarity and serenity from the issue... Nothing life changing on my part or anyone else's for that matter, just some minimal issues that involve a third party and should be handled maturely... So what do you do when you want to write about an issue but don't have the words?? When it's something that is clearly a bother but not a bother enough to write about?? Even more so, how do you write about an issue that God has no longer made an issue to you??

Hi, my name is....

Poetry is my life... It is a part of me that I don't see fading away into the night anytime soon... So much has gone on in my life, plenty of postive moments and many negative ones... As do most people do, I usually focus on the negative... And that is where my gift for writing comes into play...

I believe that God has blessed me with a gift... A beautiful gift that very few have... A talent that some feel will take me far in life, if I allow myself to share it with the world... It's hard sharing my personal thoughts and feelings to people that you have never met before... Exposing places within your soul that are meant to be kept close to the heart... Who would have ever guessed that I would be the one to write a book....

Yes, I have a book... And the book is very personal to me... It shows people a side of me that I am better off not sharing... Promoting this book has been the hardest thing for me to do... It's not that I'm concerned with how people will perceive me once they've read it, I'm more concerned with what they will know about me in the end...

I'm a private person that keeps my guard up... I trust very few and I let even fewer get close to me... But behind all of that, I'm a very passionate person... Very emotional, very caring... A heart that has more love to give than most hearts do... I'm sympathetic as well as empathetic to the situations that people go through in their lives... And my biggest fear is that all of that will be exposed through my work....
