Writing. or Writing? You tell me

I should start writing again.  I don't even remember why I stopped.  I miss writing.  I remember the days when I'd put pen to paper or fingers to keyboard, and before I knew it, I had 5 pages written.  They didn't always make sense, but there's a feeling of accomplishment to it.  When you see what you did.  These days, I mostly find myself playing video games and watching tv, and there's no real accomplishment to that, unless you count when I pay off my loans in Animal Crossing.

I need a hobby, I keep saying.  Well, writing is a hobby, isn't it?  It's a hobby that I enjoyed for many years.  It's a hobby that I'd hoped to someday make a career of, but at the rate I've been going, it's not even going to be a hobby anymore.

What's stopping me from picking it up now, you ask?  I'm not really sure of that either.  When I look at some of my unfinished pieces, that's all I do, look.  I read it through, fix any spelling errors, and put it away again.

I need to start writing again, but how to begin?  Should I try to pick up one of my unfinished stories and continue with them?  Or should I start something new?  I've no idea.  I've gone over it so many times in my mind, and I'm starting to fear that maybe the passion that I felt for writing for so many years is gone.

Maybe I should write about it.

writer's block, writing
