I have a confession to make — yes, yet another one. I haven’t been doing much writing lately. Creative writing, that is. Life has taken over and forced me to turn my thoughts inward and I’ve attempted to reconcile these difficult situations through my personal blog. And so I’m still writing, still creating in that respect — still using writing as an outlet for emotions. But characters have gone silent and whenever I put the pen to paper, the words that crowd around my mind seem to disappear.

It’s such a passion though, such a huge part of me, that I don’t ever want to give up on it. And so I try writing through that — creating scenarios, letting characters talk. It may not be polished, but they’re there, waiting patiently in a draft folder for a time when I can visit them and give them the attention I know they deserve.

So what does that mean for this blog? I’m not entirely sure, to be honest. I believe this will always be my creative writing outlet and so I’d like to keep it as such. I haven’t decided anything yet, and if you have any suggestions, I would be so grateful to hear them.

I do have some plans up my sleeve for certain aspects of this site, but it’s taking a lot of work to get that up and running, so I ask that you have some patience. I’m excited about it, and I’ll keep everyone updated as the project moves along. How’s that for a cliffhanger?

Thanks to everyone for sticking by here or, if you’re visiting for the first time, I want to welcome you. I’ve had a change of mind and heart on where I want the direction of this site to go, but never will my love for writing fade.

I wish all of you the best and, as always, happy writing!

Susan
