I'm feeling a little uninspired with my blog. Sometimes I ask myself, why do I even do this thing? What's the point?
Well, Allie, I answer, it's a sort of creative outlet within your mundane day.
Oh yeah! Thanks, self. That helps. Sort of.
What now?
Well, it's just that sometimes I feel really bad that I don't WRITE very much. And that makes me feel stupid. And small-minded.
Aww, give me a hug.
Sometimes I have conversations with myself. Weird? Yes. God. This is me trying to get my writing juices flowing. Ew, that sounds gross. Maybe I shouldn't be a writer. Right now anyway. I hate forced writing. I feel cheap. Like a prostitute. I used to write in a journal a lot. And write poetry. And attempt to write screenplays, novels, etcetera. Never finished any. How do I become inspired to write again ? I wish I could go back to school and study English all over again. Just kidding; I'd rather not read Don Quixote for a second time. Has my soul all but dried up from being stuck in an office all day long? It sure feels that way. I have many interests. Writing is only one of them. So I'm thinking, maybe it's time to move on to another interest in my life. Although I do desire to write, or in general to create something beautiful and meaningful to myself, and hopefully to others. Fuck, dudes. This sucks. Why can't I be brilliant? Oh well, such is life, right? A wise woman recently told me to take a break for one day and get out of the city, by myself... Re-collect and just LISTEN. I think that is quite a good idea.

First of all a big hug to you! Second...what you wrote in this entry....it was soulful...you laid your heart out there and to me...what could be more inspiring than that...
Well, I think you are brilliant. I look forward to reading your blog each day because it is so virbant and creative! Sure it may be few in words here and there, but it's never left me bored, it leaves me inspired! I love it and can relate to the dream of writing and wondering how on earth I will ever get there. Maybe I won't, but I'm sure I'll still love being creative which is what I think you and your blog are.
Also...we used this book in my Imaginative Writing course and though it is semi-textbook, it really helped to inspire my want and determination to write my way out of writer's block. It shares simply short stories and poems as well as give prompts (which may or may not be helpful to you) anywho, give it a whirl if you so desire, or perhaps you've read it and tossed it aside, nonetheless thought I would mention it. It helped me! It's called: Imaginative Writing The Elements of Craft 2nd Ed. by Janet Burroway
Best of luck dear. *Hug*
This is the first time I've ever check out your blog. I was just browsing people that also listen to Rosie Thomas and found yours. Your writing is beautiful. Your quotes are inspiring. So you've inspired me, a complete stranger... I hope you stick around.
Love and inspiration hugs to you!
Of course you are brilliant, except when you use the f-word...I just can't encourage that, Al Pal...because, you know, I'm your mom and all.
Thanks for all your support and wisdom; it means a lot!!!
