Thoughts on the Future

Well to start with it's been a while since I've gotten any real writing done. I've jotted down a few rhymes but haven't found anything worth continuing. Only two poems worth posting on facebook.

I feel pretty separated from a lot of my old readers and friends after leaving Quizilla. I got a good start on storywrite.com, but after getting knocked off my feet by a cold that hit me twice while taking care of my fiance, I haven't stepped back in.

Not sure what I'm looking for as far as inspiration. I still get lots of ideas, but I think the fact I haven't finished any of the stories I've been working on, burring myself instead under the technical aspects of writing, is discouraging me. Also storywrite, while having honest reviewers... I don't feel the push to keep writing that I got from others who simply enjoyed reading my stories without pointing out flaws. I both want to improve, and want to know my stories still pull attention. If that makes any sense. Don't want to give up on my writing, but not sure how long this break will last.

The clock is starting to count down on my "down time" as far as unemployment. I hope after my fiance and I move back to FL in 6 months to be working again and into a more active life style. While wanting to start a "real life" with the marriage and everything, I don't want to let go of writing. But I'm rather afraid it will be buried under new pressures and responsibility.

I hope that when my fiance is done with his college and working to go back to college myself for creative writing. I don't want to give up on writing the way I gave up on my art. There are very few ways to show one's creativity. That part of me I don't want to lose.
