I didn't write the story.  But, I sat down and just wrote a 1500 word diary entry.  If I could just get my life to calm down enough, then I could write, right?  It doesn't matter much anyway, the story was really just a fictionalization of how I'm feeling right now anyway.  So, a fictional story, or a diary entry ends up being pretty much the same

There's something called "The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron. It's a kind of course for creativity.

The centerpiece of this course involves writing "morning pages" - three journal pages every morning. Every morning, no fail.

The idea is to just write freeform, stream-of-consciousness style. And get out the drek that's clogging our minds and keeping us from being creative.

Good luck kiddo,
Sue

Thanks. That's definitely the kind of thing that I need to be doing. I used to write so much more back when I kept my diary regularly. But, I got to the point where I didn't want to think about the bad things messing up my life, and in trying to avoid that, I got where I could barely create anything. I'm hoping that maybe that will change soon.
