Writing my life away
In absolutely no time at all, I feel like I've forgotten how to write. I'm at a point where it's as though the act of stringing more than three coherent sentences together is something to be proud of.
This semester I'm taking a sign language class for my own enrichment and for part of homework this weekend we just had to write down how we'd work toward greater comprehension this month. I wrote a paragraph and felt accomplished.
The end result?
I MUST write more. It's not a matter of need any more. Every year I tell myself I need to write more. Game over to that. I took writing daily for the paper for granted because it forced me to be coherent. Now, that seems like a struggle. I wrote several e-mails tonight to people I've fallen out of touch with and just telling them I'm still alive felt like a challenge. I always say I'll LJ post more. Maybe I just need to focus on making writing a habit.
It's time really that holds me back. I've never been good at managing my time. As I get older...26 this year...time management just gets harder.
In other news...
-I tried Mel's 50 books in a year challenge. I made it as far as 47. I'm trying again this year though!
-Owencreature's company was bought out, but he still has a job.
-I (hopefully) get to replace the front springs on the Owencreature's car. This wrench turning business is fun.
