Ok, so it's not exactly true that I haven't been writing. I'm still writing every day for the C-J -- and it seems like there is always more to write about. But I haven't been writing for myself in a long time. So, I'm going to try to get back on the wagon. I think it would be a good way for me to get some of my creative juices flowing again.
I've been trying to think of things to get myself excited about. Lately, it's felt like mostly I'm just juggling and trying to keep the balls from crashing to the ground. So, I'm going to try to come up with some little mini-adventures. They could be simple things -- dinner with a friend, reading a new book, anything. The possibilities are endless. I'm going to try to keep my mind on the positives and what I'm doing that reaches beyond myself.
Maybe it's something about the new year looming -- if anyone can tell me how we got to that point again so soon please let me know. But I want to try to keep myself thinking beyond the murder and mayhem that is my everyday writing exercise.
Last year was a rough one ... and this year is all about being kind to myself and doing some things that push me out of my comfort zone.
So, I'm throwing down my own gauntlet. Adventure suggestions welcome ... and I hope that I will amuse you or inspire you a bit along the way.
