I used to really love to write. I don’t do it as much as I used to. I like to tell stories. I have a lot of stories that just kind of circulate around in my brain. Sometimes I write them down, sometimes I just tell people; anyone who will listen. This assignment has kind of kick started my brain a little bit. I’ve been writing more, and I think I’m starting to like it again. It was hard at first. I didn’t want to sit down every day and around about something. I could not think of anything to write about. I didn’t want to write about what I saw. I wanted to write something original, something that gave people a better sense of who I am as a person and as a writer. I hate busy work. If I’m writing something, I want it to be important or personal. I want it to be something that people want to read.  By blogging, I think that I’ve awakened a part of my brain that I didn’t realize was asleep. I think that by being out of school so long I have just been really out of practice. I don’t think that I have written since the last time I was in school. I’m getting a lot better about it though. I am enjoying it again and that’s such a big deal. It makes this assignment much easier. I’m glad I’ve been keeping up with it though, because I can feel myself getting better. I want to continue to write, maybe not every day or every night, but I want to write at least twice a week. I want to make this a habit. I really want to start putting all these ideas that I have floating around my head down on paper. It’ll make it easier to tell people about them.
