33rd Post -- Writing is Hard
Writing is hard, I acknowledge this and the fact that getting your mind to concentrate on writing is also difficult. Have I ever struck a balance with anything? Not all the time but with drawing. It’s like jump rope the first few jumps you get the rhythm and if all goes well you just feel it. You know when that rope hits the ground and you feel yourself in tune with the rope and nothing else. But then you get tired and soon you can’t jump as high and you lose the rhythm, that feeling, that high, even though it has gone you know you’ll get it back after all once you know how to jump rope it doesn’t take you long to get back into the swing of things.

That’s how I get with drawing and I believe I’ll get that way with writing. It’s all in that rhythm. That gorgeous, lush rhythm. You just have to feel it but it takes a little bit to get into it. So with writing I have to remember the first few minutes may be uneasy but if you keep writing you’ll find that rhythm.

That writer’s high is great. I can’t remember a time when I got it, as it’s been a while sense I’ve written anything worthwhile but I know how it feels and can’t wait to feel it again.

I want to write because I don’t know, the rhythm maybe. The feeling I get when I seem to place the words and sentences just right and it feels good. Knowing that when I write something down it’s there and one last thing for me to have to think about again. Now if I could only begin writing stories, then maybe I would feel grand. But I feel happy when I reread some of my older pieces. I have evolved and I’m always improving.
