Write

Stream of consciousness — an oversimplification, or something much more complex?

I write because there are stories in my head begging to get out. Weird. But true. I write because friends and acquaintances, apparently not many trusted or I would have started at a much younger age, have encouraged me to do so. A couple of attorney friends come to mind, but are attorneys ever to be fully trusted? When it comes to writing, yes, they can be trusted, think about what they do everyday — they write.

Some prefer paper and pen, I wish this were my preference. It is not. Nothing gives me writer's block quicker than sitting down with paper and pen. Nothing. Words pour out when I'm at my laptop, but only if a story has been triggered.

I've never thought myself gifted in any area. Ever. I've believed quite the opposite actually. I'm now comfortable believing I'm perfectly normal. Maybe. Quirky, but normal. Relatively speaking.

I read many of your thoughts,  you who are so gifted with words and stories. So, here's what we do, write. Tell the story, get it on paper or on the computer, but tell the story.

I just know several of you are damn geniuses, many I've known for years, and never knew this about you. Write.

Writing improves every aspect of our lives.

Write, y'all.
