Since then I have been involved in two major relationships and they became the focus of my life. I didn't have time to write anymore. The relationships kept me busy whether I was happy or miserable. Now that I am single again it is time to go back to the well and start drawing stories from it again. I may never have been published before but the stories I wrote gave life a sense of purpose and enjoyment. None of my characters ever abused me, cheated on me, lied about me or did any of the number of other things that my ex-husbands have done.
The problem is not time or space or lack of ideas as I have created everything I need for a peaceful writing environment. And yet I have not written more than a page or two of notes in the last month. This is where the blog comes in. Priming the pump if you will. In college, I wrote so many papers and assignments, journal entries and book reports that the pump was always primed and I would sit down to work on a story and the words would flow. It's been many years since writing came that easy. I hope that this exercise will get things flowing again.
If not, it will be a great place to work through the issues of my very complicated life.
