Been thinking about getting back into writing. I used to write short stories. Then I got into poetry and stayed with that. I need to break out of it and get back into writing actual stories. Mess around with it. Do something creative. Other than knitting. I mean knitting is fine, and stuff, but I want to get better at writing. I mean, I write on here, but it's different.
Had so many ideas in the past. But they escaped me. I dropped it all. Or put it on the back burner. Been putting it all on the back burner. All the stuff I've ever really wanted to do is sitting there. Waiting for me to do something with it. So lots of pent up creativity that needs to be let loose.
Been thinking about stuff. Having some conversations about things. Getting perspectives.
I bought a book at the bank. It's about how men and women communicate. I thought it would be interesting since I seem to have issues communicating. It's either because people do not 'get' me or what I'm saying, or lost in translation. Or something. Communicating really shouldn't be that hard. But for the most part, it is. It has been. For me. Maybe for a lot of people.
Someone told me that when you tell someone something, they think it in their voice. And when they tell you something, you think it in your voice. Something like that. I forget how exactly he put it. But was interesting to think about that.
I definitely need to read more, too. Sometimes I like to read about writing. I know that sounds weird, but I do that sometimes. I have a few books about writing. One has the kernel sentence structures in it. Which I find very interesting. One thing I noticed is that all sentences have the same parts in them. The Who, What, When, Where, Why, How. When I was reading the last book I read. I was literally going through the sentences and identifying each word in one of those categories. To see how the sentence was put together in those terms. I know, I'm weird. I just get into it.
I once stayed up all night looking up words, their definitions and the definitions of the prefixes and suffixes. Yes, I actually did this for more than a few hours. This is why I probably need to get out a heck of a lot more. Trust me, there are days I don't want to be stuck in my own mind so I'm sure nobody would want to be, either.
The thing is, I look stuff up and write stuff down, but I forget about it easily. I don't know why my memory is so crappy. I need to work on that. I guess it's like a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it gets. I don't want my memory to atrophy.
I have so much to work on that it's crazy. Not even sure where to start. But knowing that and admitting it is a step in the right direction. Doing it, actually working on it, is something all together different. I really need to step outside my comfort zone and expand it. I have lots of growth to look forward to. Lots of potential. Lots of time. Just have to remain aware that time is running out. I have to use what I have left of it, wisely.
We never know what tomorrow will bring.
