I actually managed to get some writing done, go me!
It was just a little writing exercise I started to get myself going again, inspired by
vanirpriestess 's
parable on her web site. By the time I got done with it (longer of course, because I've always been way too verbose :-)), I realized I did have something of a message of my own in my experiences with different communities here and there.
It still needs a little work in my opinion, needs to be cleaned up a little. But that always happens, I was just impressed with how quickly it came out. I don't know if I'll do anything with it, maybe I'll post it under filters (I usually am kind of protective with my writing, though that wouldn't be the only reason this time).
Now we'll see if I can keep this going and get something else out. I have been experiencing a lot of stress lately (sleep has been difficult thanks to my usual winter weather problems, that is not helping) so I could use something relaxing to work on to help with that. I did have a website I had wanted to work on (which I was reminded about yesterday shortly after I finished my writing, I had half forgotten about it, still not sure exactly what I want to do with it) and a devotional that I wanted to do. And now that some of my personal problems have passed, there's no reason not to start trying to get that work done again.
(well, there is always writer's block, which I get so frequently now from being so out of practice, but I got to break out of it sooner or later; writing has always been good for my mental health and I need to start at it again)
