Yes, it’s been a while. My daily blatherings came to a screeching halt for a while here, but now it’s a new year so I’m giving it a new start.
As is always the case with me, I’ve lost the passionate interest I had when I started this blog. I still love writing, I still want to write, and I still want to be a writer. But, there seems something off about wanting to write fiction and keeping a blog/journal in which I just ramble about my daily life. Not that rambling about my daily life is a bad thing…I actually enjoy it. It’s just a different type of writing than the fiction I want to write.
So, rather than try to force the issue of writing fiction, I’m just going to let that happen naturally. And in the meantime, I’m going to keep my writing skills fresh by blogging here. I’m not going to consider this an exercise in improving my fiction, or getting myself to write fiction. I’m just going to blog because I like doing it. No more word counts, no fiction friday, no whining because I don’t have any ideas for stories to write. I’m just going to write whatever I feel like writing each day.
That being said, I’m still going to try to write something every day for a year. I’m also starting a photography project 365. I am not sure what is wrong with me that I feel the need to do these year long projects, but at least it’s something to do!
