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,
