Admit it

They say the first thing to do when overcoming a personal problem is admitting it. Well, I have a problem with writing. The biggest struggles I have found so far writing is creating time to write in a creative atmosphere, being confident enough to post my writing and being consistent.  Actually, consistency is the main problem with lots of little reasons. Life gets in the way even though it’s life which I want to write about.

If an experience isn’t recorded did it really happen?

Recently, I have had a lot of issues with relationships. There has been issues with work. I have done two classes for work where I was one of two women at the entire school for that period of time. Spent a weekend in Baltimore. Getting my first male roommate. Looking at some master’s programs. Witnessed a horrific car accident. Did a Tough Mudder.

So many things that I have happened that I should have been writing about. Just to help me work through issues to have a greater perspective and share my experiences. Some of my insecurities with writing is because I haven’t had a formal writing class for over five years. Also, expressing my emotions is in a way being vulnerable to an audience that is not always accepting. It takes a lot of confidence in yourself, which is one of the reasons why I started this blog.

Prioritizing your priorities. 

I have been sporadically writing in this blog over the last year. I want to keep it up and continue building confidence in my writing and myself to keep voicing my ideas. I need the negative criticism so I can work through it and learn that it’s okay. Part of me being independent is not being dependent on what others think of me.
