Thankful

I just typed up a huge work rant, but I think I’ll hold off on posting it.

That is what I love about writing; it is so therapeutic for me. Almost all of my IRL friends ask how I can enjoy writing, it’s so ‘boring’ …and I just gawk at them. Writing is my escape. I can come on here and just rage with my words and after it’s all out of my system, I

What a nice feel good post.

In trivia news, my farm cat is called Pandora, or Pan for short, but partly because despite her age, she is full of surprises and mischief, like Peter Pan as well.

There is almost nothing in life as satisfying as an early escape from work. It is probably how a burglar feels when he gets off from a crime he is absolutely jolly certain he did because he was there. Or when someone bakes you cake because you told them it was your birthday though it was secretly in November. Or something moral. Someone will have to describe those sort of things to me though.

Thank you for a nice entry.

With the writers block, you can start off with a tangent to show character develop, or the scenery or a recap on whats happened previously in the story. They can be quite good bridges :)

I completely agree in the therapeutic aspect of writing. It is all about catharsis. Releasing pressure, thoughts, feelings, that would otherwise be all bottled up! I sometimes too write stuff down that I never end up posting anywhere, or type up emails that stay for ever on my drafts box. No matter how upset I may be, it always makes me feel better; it gives me perspective...

The therapeutic affects of writing is why I've never been able to shake off LJ. I do slack off during the semester because I'm writing so much for class, but I always come back because something comes up that I want/need to write about.

30,900 words! That is *awesome*! I totally agree with you about writing being an escape and a release, whether it's journaling, fiction, or any other kind. The peeps who consider writing "boring" are really missing out!

I <3 your thankful list. Reminds me I haven't made one in a while!
