Being Inspired To Express Through Writing
I am so happy that I am inspired to write again. I have bags full of notebooks from the age of 12 to 32. That's was when I wrote free hand. Thank God for typing on the computer. Starting at 23 up until now, I've read over 600 books- psyc text books just for fun, spiritual, scientific, healing, thought provoking books. That's my genre. I am constantly seeking, learning, expanding my mind & thought processes.
Now I am reading many mgmt, marketing, public relations, music/entertainment industry, business books, as well as online sites where I research the music industry. There were times that I only wanted to read, no writing. Times that I did both. The last 5 years, I haven't been interested in writing. I am not going to write just because I think I should. I have to be inspired. I have to want it, desire it, crave it with my whole being...& I do!
I have so much to say & I've said a lot through my writing, but now I've reflected on my life & put so many pieces together. Ah Ha moments from reading my journals from middle, high school, college & after. It helped me to understand myself better even though I thought I already knew myself pretty well. I would suggest to everyone to write (& read). Save your writing. Reflect later. You don't have to publish your work, but I am going to. I want to use my experiences to hep others as I did when I was an elementary school teacher. A recurring theme in my writing from the past is that my friends' letters always told me what a great friend I was. I was helpful. I listened. I gave good advise. I cared. I am still like that. It was really important for me to see that. Even if you think or know something about yourself, it's still good to hear it from others.
My writing from the age of 27 to 32 was mainly expressing deep thoughts & analyzations about trauma in my life. I was creating so much trauma in my own life at that time. I certainly created my own prison. Hey, don't be a Creed hater! This is a a book/movie of it's own & it will be. I've already hand written in a notebook a rough draft of my psychological thriller. It's trippy. You'll have to decide what's real, what's not...
Final thoughts: Express in a way that allows you to look back on your life, thought processes & actions at that time. It's enlightening & fun to read.
