A Thought about Writing
Just a quick note to say how much I appreciate this blog. It’s giving me such a valuable platform for creating. I’m finally producing stories and drafts that feel substantial, and I’ve really only been writing for a few days (compared to the years I’ve spent cooking up September Caterpillars). These new thoughts are written for publication in a sense, not just the notes section of my private phone. And although I doubt anyone will really ever read through this blog, it’s nice to have a hypothetical audience, to write a little more intentionally, and to log everything for myself.
The best effect of the blog though, was something unexpected. I’ve always had the fear that my creativity would run dry. Like I was born as a marker or a pen, and once I’ve used all the ink inside, that’s it, on to the wastebin.
But that’s not what’s happening. I feel free. I feel endless. I finally have no fear to put down my thoughts and “publish” my stories because they’re the beginning, not the end. They’re the spark.
