Writer’s Journal Entry Thirteen: A Recap Episode
At the beginning of this writing experiment, I talked about my thoughts and what I expected to come from this writer’s journal. I talked about how I don’t know what will be coming from it, and I also vented about my personal troubles and anxieties.
Since I introduced them at the beginning, I feel it a fulfilling circle if I were to mention that what I spoke unwell of at the beginning, does feel a lot better as of me writing this, and I feel like I can start a new chapter in my life and progress forward, both with the relationship and my life outside of it. I’m not in a fantastic spot right now, but I feel better on everything going forward, and I’m hopeful, all things considered.
I also talked about different inspirations in my life and how they affected me, and I tried to make sense and observations of them, while being productive and introspective, which as writer’s we should always try to be. Always try to find reasons why and consider the steps that follow and led up to whatever might be significant.
As I’ve progressed and got into a rhythm here, I’ve found myself able to write about more constructive and hopefully to some, more applicable and interesting concepts in regards to writing as a process and choice. About inspirations, how to stay an active observer, keep things interesting and various other topics that come to me when writing.
I wasn’t sure how this would go when I accepted it, and it took me a few write-ups to figure things out, but I’m glad that I did accept this and go through with it for a lot of reasons. The main reason is that I think it certainly helped me know myself as a writer better. There’s certainly a difference between passively existing in the world within our ego and selves, and expressing and trying to share and explain our process to those around us, as the latter allows you the opportunity to challenge and become more clearly and intimately aware of your own tendencies, which is the first step of improving and/or adapting yourself to the world and your goals or expectations.
So for these reasons, among others, I was happy to be able to work on this writer’s journal. It certainly helped me become a more complete and sturdy writer, giving me an experience, an outlet and opportunity to express myself, especially in these static, and claustrophobic times. Although I am an introvert and enjoy time to myself, I still have this yearning desire to experience the world and express myself, as a small piece of it all. So, feeling obligated to my civic duty, containing myself has been a struggle. But being able to do my part here, on this blog and share it with those who read it, does me more good than I would care to admit face to face.
So, as I type this into a blank screen and publish it without enough thought to embarrass me, I want to thank everyone who’s read, and those who’ve given me this opportunity. I do hope I’ve had a positive impact, and I hope everyone can look forward and see a brighter future than the ones in the corner’s of our room.
