So it Friday, November 14, 2014. I have now been blogging consecutively for 45 days. It is hard to believe that I came up with that many different things to say. And for the past 13 days, I have also been working on my NaNoWriMo project as well. I am finding lots of things to say. But as I began to think about what to blog about today, I hit a wall. I had Writer's Block. I started and deleted several drafts before I began this one.
Yet the third time proved to work. That is this version. It is so hard sometimes to put thoughts on paper. I want to be sure I am using the right words to convey exactly the meaning I want. After all you can't hear my voice or see my facial expressions or hand motions to know what I really mean. All I have is my words. The right words convey exactly the meaning I want, while the wrong words can leave nothing. I just know I have a lot I want and need to share. At the same time, I am finding a desire to write that I never knew I had.
I always thought my sister was the one with the writing talent in the family. I was gifted in math. But as the years have gone by, I find myself spending more time writing or editing writing. As Dennis attended college, I edited his papers for him. I edit my children's homeschool work. I edit my blog and various posts on various forums I am on. I am surrounded by words. I can't escape them. They follow me where ever I go.
What are you surrounded by? Or what do you find yourself doing that you did not expect to be doing? I hope you will share with me!
Congratulations on 45 days! I love that you are surrounded by words and ideas and can express them so freely. :) I am a mama of eight, so I am surrounded by children. That makes me happy!
ReplyDeleteKeep writing... you are good at it!
Thanks for stopping by. As a mom of 8 I am sure your life is blessed. Thanks for the compliment!
DeleteCongratulations on blogging for 45 days. Im surrounded by a lot of things children is one of them but im surrounded by my racing thoughts. And even with racing thoughts I often get writers block as well..
ReplyDeleteSorry I did not reply sooner. Thanks for stopping by. I am not sure which is worse having no thoughts or having racing thoughts that move too fast to keep up with.
DeleteIsn't it a good thing to be surrounded by words, especially when you are passionate about them. Writer's block comes and goes but when passion takes over no blocks stops us, right. :) happy writing.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you stopped by. I have become passionate about words. Happy writing to you as well.
DeleteThat is an impressive accomplishment, 45 days. I usually post to my own blog about once a week. So this NaBloPoMo is new for me, and I'm actually having fun!
ReplyDeleteGlad you stopped by. I am glad to hear you are also enjoying NaBloPoMo. I am too!
