The letter to myself for my writing goals |
Dear Me, 2014 was a tough year for me. I lost my mother & my job in less that 6 months. Usually during that tough time, my writing is top notch. The problem? I couldn't write anything. I felt very stuck and very frustrated. There were times I struggled so much, all the things I love to do, I didn't want to do. I knew deep down this wasn't me, but I also knew this was the time for me to properly grieve those losses. Now that it is 2015, I write this on my 45th birthday (January 8th) knowing that one of my two New Year's Resolutions is to begin to write again. It took a little while for me to enjoy music again, so I know this won't be easy. One of the things I need to do is look into doing a blog of thoughts I have, and believe me, I have a lot of thoughts swimming around that quiet head of mine. I'm not looking for critiques or anything like that. This is more like a journal where I write in it everyday, even if there isn't anything for me to write. I know some of my favorite authors went thru a period where they had a tough time writing and they found ways to get thru it and write some of the best works out there. I also know that my favorite singer of all time also went thru that stage and found his way out of it as well. If they can do it, I can do it. I will have to listen to my soul intently, so I can make sure that I don't miss anything she is saying to me. I've always wanted to write a mystery and in order to at least start that, I will have to start writing again. I know it doesn't have to be perfect or even make sense, but I know I need to write everyday...making it as natural as getting up in the morning. I also have a story with me as a main character that I haven't finished either that I want to finish by the end of the year. I know I have to finish reading a couple of books that relate to the male lead character to shape where I want this story to go and to reshape what I have written so far, but that story means something to me and my heart and will also help towards my other new year's resolution. 2015 will be a year of inspiration for me because I've gotten out of the darkness and heading toward the light. I will still have ups and downs, but I know that I will have a wonderful year, and my writing will be strong, inspiring, and most of all fun. Sincerely, Audrey C. aka the quiet one. |
