I had a very busy day today. I didn't really get a chance to write. But I have so many new ideas for my novel that I have a problem switching off. I had to take a few sleep aids that my Doctor had prescribed me a few months ago, but I refused to take before, just so that my brain can rest long enough for me to get a decent nights sleep. Believe it or not my brain still goes on thinking when I attempt to sleep. Resulting in me being very groggy and tired, which is bad for my writing.
But when the inspiration hits it is hard to ignore and these days I don't ignore it at all. I had done enough ignoring when I quite writing for 4 years and I still regret that decision to this day. I have wasted so much time doing things I thought I liked, when in reality I turned my back on the only thing I ever loved doing and that had gotten me through the worst times of my life, my writing. So, no more regrets!
When I feel like writing, even when it is 02:00 am, I write. I love it! And even now, when I read other aspiring writers blogs and see, that like me they also struggle to cope with wanting to be writers and having other priorities in life, I suddenly feel comforted and honoured to be part of their writing worlds . And let me tell you these ladies write fantastic and realistic posts that make me proud to be an aspiring writer.
As you can see I have been very busy today chatting up a storm. And I truly just get carried away. Maybe I should use this energy on my novel.
