Blogging Interrupted

on Tue, 05/24/2011 - 18:06

There was a time, about five years ago, where I would spend hours every night writing with a friend. We had been a part of a creative writing site, and we decided to take some of our characters and write a combined story. I have all of the sessions we did and I look back on them and wonder where my creative brain went. We never finished the story, and we had some issues because we never really had a beginning either. There were a whole bunch of individual scenes, but the connective glue wasn't there. We both got frustrated with what we couldn't get done and agreed to let it go. I haven't really sat down to write anything since. I've tried a few times, but I can't make any headway with things.

I also used to blog constantly, I gave up on that a few times, the last being because I really didn't feel that I had much to say anymore. I realize I've become a bit more antisocial now that we've moved further out of Atlanta. I'm trying to correct this issue, and am pushing myself to be more active in general, because I spend entirely too much time avoiding doing any of the things I've planned for the day. My other issue is that I'm finding it harder to be polite and not say what's on my mind. So here I am again. I'm sure I'm going to tweak some people the wrong way, and I'm hoping that I'm going to make myself get back in gear. There are too many things floating around in my head not to put them down somewhere.
