Rethinking Stories

 Writing- something I do all the time and try to fit in on most regular days. However, I haven't done creative writing in a long time! It's another kind of writing that comes from another branch of the tree. It sparks from ideas and is a blend between imaginary and real life. 

I recently came across this writing I did last summer. It was in mid-August, right before things got busy and started up again with my job and classes. I hadn't read it since, and it showed me so much!

I realized that I have grown and been stretched a lot this past school year. I felt that I have experienced a lot and am not the exact same from before it all started. Of course, we are always growing and are a work in progress, but I could sense it in my writing too. I didn't feel as interested or inclined to keep going with the story. Maybe I wanted to write and portray my writing in a different way? Maybe I felt I could do better? I had more to give.

After what I went through and experienced this past school year, I want to think about what kind of creative writing and story to come up with. This may take more time and process. But I also want to give a piece of my heart, meaning that draws from somewhere deep. 

I think we know when we give our best selves and our best writing. I think I've felt this for a long time- to continue to try to give my best writing and keep on improving and growing!
