Over a Year Later

Wow.
I cannot believe i have not updated this in over a year. L A Z Y.

I am trying to start writing again. Writing all kinds of things. It's been since high school (?) since I have written poetry (9 years) and its been 2-3 years since I did much of any other kind of writing. The key to being a good writer is to write. It is that simple.

I have recently (in the last 6months) moved back to my "hometown" with the love of my life. All of my dear high school friends know me as a writer, and they make me feel guilty that i haven't written. Because, I really enjoy writing. I do.

I need to join a creative writer's circle. Maybe a journalism class, too. I'm only 27 years old. My dreams have not alluded me yet.

Most of my post-college writing has been blog style online diaries and journal writing (pen and paper) with a gallant effort at an autobiographical long essay/short novella that I have abandoned for lack of energy.

I forgot something else, to be a good writer one must be a great reader. And I do read a lot...I need to pick up some of my old poetry books and see what I get.

I need to start practicing my stream of conciousness writing. ANd then, more will come?

I am going to go start a creative writing blog for me right now.
Another wasted place in cyber space, i am sure.
