Nerd girl comes out
I heart my writing workshop. I heart the teacher. I heart being excited and inspired and engaged and stimulated again. I heart being in class for three hours straight after work and feeling nothing but energized afterwards.
I heart writing something as simple as a single sentence and thinking, hey, maybe I CAN do this.
I know this just the beginning of a very long road, and that I will fall many times before getting anywhere at all. But it's so nice to be on a road that I actually want to travel, as opposed to being unceremoniously deposited there (hello, grief journey).
It's so fun to take classes in something that you're really interested in. Maybe it's the geek in me, but I've always loved the feeling of sitting in a classroom and being enthralled by the subject matter -- of feeling my brain expand a touch. I guess I really do need the structure -- witness all the books I've purchased on cleaning and organizing your house. Have I actually cleaned or organized my house? Or all the cookbooks I buy (have I made a single recipe from any of them?).
Maybe I'll take a cooking class next.
