Almost a year ago I started a journey towards becoming more and towards a healing of sorts. I’d just been through a great deal of emotional trauma and I decided to use it as fuel for self betterment. In 67 days I’ll be reflecting on that journey and either returning to the normal numeration of the blog (we are in the 3k region I think) or starting another iteration of this thing (though that may wait until a top secret project is revealed!). Either way I am approaching a period of reflection, which has me feeling really reflective about language and writing and growth.
I have grown as a writer over the last year. I think that part of that has to do with time on task with other writers in a more effective fashion. I’ve been mentoring and presenting and otherwise sharing my craft. I’ve done enough of it that I know I have something to say that is worth sharing. It is a big step to know that you’re not entirely talking out of ignorance.
Now that I know I have something worth saying, I need to continue convincing myself I have the patience to say it in story. That part is infinitely harder.
Some Thoughts:
- I haven’t explored sexual attraction in my writing. It is something I find personally curious and should be handled in my work. Yet I have not. Soon, I suspect. Soon…
- I expect to watch the latest episode of GoT tonight. I failed to fully avoid spoilers, so I do know there is one arrival on scene that was rumored and is in fact a reality. It was spoiled for me, but not for you, dear reader! Not for you!
- I’m especially curious to know if there will be a season 3 of Westworld and what they have left to say…
- I miss pro football.
- I intend a blog (Wednesday?) about football and my kids pretty soon here. Things need to be discussed and uncovered.
