When I was kid I liked to make up stories. Put myself in another world nothing like my own to escape for a moment. That's why I enjoyed reading so much, I liked the escape. Whenever I was working on an assignment my mind would sometimes wander off. It would wander off to a place completely made-up by me. It wasn't necessarily a place of fantasy just somewhere else. I would put myself in situations that I've read or seen before just to see what it was like.
Well, while I studied for a midterm or did my homework for a class my mind would wander off. For some reason I would imagine a young couple in a dispute. Over time in my head I would add more about this couple's life. One time I decided to write an introduction about this couple. I liked what I wrote a lot but didn't continue to write. I'm not sure why, maybe final exams came up and I just forgot about the couple. But after two years or so that couple still remained in my head so finally a couple months ago I decided to put it in writing. Every situations that had ran across my mind, I wrote down. I even added more so the story could have more fluidity. I wrote and wrote and I loved it. This story was my own and in my own words. Then I stopped.
I stopped because I had nothing else to say. I had more situations but didn't know how to get there from what I had already written. I also didn't know how long I wanted it to be and have a clue about how it needed to end. So I simply stopped writing.
That's how all of my other entries are like. When something pops into my head I write it down and then stop because I don't know what else to say. But once I write it down it doesn't bug me anymore. But it bugs me that it doesn't bug me anymore. I want to finish an entry because I like how I develop the story but once I hit a road block (writer's block) I just quit.
The strange thing also is that I really like how I write. It looks so unperturbed and without worry. I think because I'm writing for myself and not to please others. I think that's why I'm OK writing on here because it seems like no one is reading this blog. Haha no worries I'm ok with that it just makes it more comfortable when I write. I will probably continue to write unfinished works until I find out a way to finish them.
Stylishly Yours,
