Three Years??

Today I received a notification from WordPress letting me know that it has been three years since I started blogging on this little haven. My first reaction was “Damn! Has it really been that long?”

I feel like an underachiever given that in three years I only have 22 posts to show for. Well, I could justify myself by saying that I haven’t written anything since October 22nd 2017. No, I wasn’t facing a writer’s block. There were just too many things to handle. Ever had that feeling that perhaps you weren’t meant to do something? Well, that how I had been feeling about writing for a while.

The thing with writing, however, is that you really have no choice. As an artist must create art a writer must write to remain sane. The numerous stories in my head have consumed my every thought and I almost always wonder why I even stopped in the first place. It’s a relief, actually, coming back to my first love after a long hiatus.

I am not sure there is anyone waiting for this actually, but I secretly hope that there is. Well, I am proud to announce that my wild wild imagination and I are back!! Yipee! I hope to make my readers feel something through my writing: fear, anger,sadness, joy, whatever the hell you want to feel. I must admit, I know my best works are not yet on paper, but shall we discover them together.

I intend to take Natalie’s advice. I hope you join in on the ride.

 

Happy 3rd anniversary to Unconscious Words. It’s been more than three years though, that we know for sure.

 

Love and light,

Dee.
