Well, after wasting far too much time avoiding it, I've come back to the truest form of myself. Writing. After finishing Cassie's story, I decided to take a short break... which turned into a depressingly long break. I'm realizing that, if I don't write every day, it's hard to get back into the habit. Instead I stare at blank pages with an equally blank mind, wondering what on earth to fill all the emptiness with.
So I prayed. Asked for some direction. And got an interesting answer. In order to write, I have to get out and live... and in order to be able to live, I have to write. It's what keeps me sane, grounded, whole. It's a part of me. Which is probably why I've been feeling so lost again lately. Ironic, seeing as Jamie's story is going to be called So Lost.
Getting back to these stories, seeing myself in each character, it's liberating! So even though, like Jamie, I'm still feeling lost, I also feel like I'm definitely getting back on the right path. One that leads back to who I'm supposed to be. It also has me acting a little more like my character. I mean, why else would I be making cranberry apple pork chops on a Tuesday, if not for kitchen whiz Jamie Owens?
Just wanted to let you know, I'm back. Make sure I stay that way? :) Now enjoy the song that's been stuck in my head! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Svof1bouXDk&feature=related
