As of late, I find myself overcome with fresh and interesting ideas. Trust me I am not complaining. As someone that just overcame a year of writer’s block this is truly a blessing from above and I willing hold up pen and pad to the sky to receive them.
But I, like many with a full time job, often times more than I care to admit, find myself short on time. Or when I have the time, I have a million things to do or I am exhausted and the opportunity to open my laptop to bust out a few lines is readily exchanged for a hot shower and the rare opportunity to get in bed by 11pm.
One day I found myself doing a true self reflection, not just telling myself good things are to come but real introspeciton. I asked myself, seriously, have you tried? Do you try? Practicing honesty with ones self is tough and I had to answer truthfully, ‘no.’
After reflecting and identifying where I have been going wrong for the past 2 years, I have identified what 2021 needs to look like if I want to transition to doing what I love full time.
I always enjoy rattling a story around in my head. I can kill an entire day working out plots and characters in my mind. As someone that has and still struggles with social interaction creating these elaborate stories has been of comfort to me and has allowed me to have many adventures as well as participate in some quite devious activities all without leaving my room and most importantly without talking to a single soul.
Often a story that unfolded itself naturally in my mind bends and twists once I start to type leading me once again to a dead end.
