the challenge

This whole writing one post a day thing is going to be harder than I thought. Not because I run out of things to write about.. there's always something to be put into words, but I just... it takes me days or even weeks to post something because I always write, edit, re-write, backspace, undo... until it's JUST right. But this will be good for me...


Even writing this sentence, I've started and re-written it like 3 times. I guess I just want to write something that's earth shattering or thought provoking or ingeniously funny, incase a cyber stranger were to happen across this page and find interest.


The other day I was pouring over some writings that I happened across. They were so enchanting, I was moved by the elegant poise of the words. The way they didn't just appear on the page but seemed to flow with ethereal grace, every sentence captivating my attention and luring me into the next. And I was upset, and slightly jealous of the ability of the writer to enchant me so.


Except.. the writer was me.


It is possible to regress in your writing abilities? I don't know why, but I feel like I used to write from such a different place. Pen and paper came alive in my hands, or keyboard to the touch. When I look back to my scriptings from years past, I find they embody so much soul. Truth. Candid reality. So much of who I was, and was becoming. Saturated with inspiration and moments of genuine truth.


It is my goal to return to such a state. To find the hidden channel within my soul that links my thoughts to the page in front of me. With ease, and with grace.


Goodnight world.
