Writing Again Can be Difficult
Due to traveling and illness, I have stopped updating this blog for a few days. As I am trying to get back into the writing routine, I find myself procrastinating. I was pacing around the room for at least 10 minutes before I start to put these words onto the screen.
When I was away and sick, I do my best to read and reflect on what I have read. Yet, I find it difficult to put those thoughts into words. When I was writing regularly, I did not read as much but I can express more ideas.
Writing is another form of struggle with own self. There is no winner or loser. No one knows if I stopped writing. Readers will move on. Yet, I know I have to put down my thoughts. Through writing I can develop clarity. The last few weeks, I was drifting in and out of my own world. I feel all kinds of emotion, happiness, excitement, disappointment, anger etc. Yet, I could not tell you why I feel those emotions. I was not in touch with my inner self.
Writing again is difficult. I have to unpack a lot of emotions and thoughts. If you have a writing habit and have stopped, you are not alone. Starting again is difficult. Take it easy and write again. Let your fingers do the talking. Those moments of clarify will come again.
