Whether you are a writer or not have you ever had an idea that just goes round and round in your head until you do something about it. As a writer, it might be your story and your characters constantly talking to you. Or maybe a scene that is playing out before you.
For me, I’ve relieved what happened to Mari in the hospital more times than I can remember. It’s something that’s always there and can easily be brought to mind. I think it’s because it will forever be apart of me and is embedded into my memory. In its own way, it’s been apart of my grief journey. It’s how I can somewhat grasp what actually happened those sixteen days over five years ago. Do I wish it had never happened. Well, of course. That’s a given. However, it has and so to continue living my life I had to be able to grasp and understand everything in my own way.
God has given me and ability to write where those words somehow resonate with others. I still shake my head at how this has happened but am ever so grateful for this ability. Writing has become something I love. It’s a passion of mine now.
There are times where I get away from my writing for a little while. It’s kind of like when season change. However, I don’t like it like this. I’d rather be consistent at it as it is so near and dear to me. By writing on a daily basis this helps me to continually move forward with my writing and to grow while doing it.
So yes, it’s like I have a constant DVD going on inside my head. Like a movie reel. Sometimes, I have to put it on pause, but it’s still there. I can play it whenever I need it. If you think about it, that pretty kewl. I’m blessed to have this inside me.
What do you think? I'd love to hear your thoughts on what's been said. Thank you.
