There's something rejuvenating about starting to develop a new blog. A brand new start, a blank page, a bright new idea. It's shiny and clean, unsullied by the corrosion of the world, not yet dulled from dust.
With my final year project behind me I'm starting to, very slowly, think about writing again. The draining, crippling idea of needing new inspiration for every assignment is beginning to wear away. It's like the morning after rain when the world is suddenly full of fresh air and cool still water. The light wind rustles your hair, the golden morning light is bright and clean. The birds are singing, their voices are sharp and full of music. How can you not love this morning, how can you possibly not feel like sitting in a field and writing?
I've been thinking about continuing the rewrite on my first novel Just Out of Reach (working title). Sending it out to Mark and Ash has brought back such positive feedback. I feel like taking this fresh line of plot and running with it, seeing where it takes me. I actually even did some planning today. I planned the next chapter. I've known what has to happen in it, of course, but taking it and breaking it down is something I hadn't done for a long time.
It's amazing just how much fire can be gained from positive feedback.
I need to get back into reading too. Being told I have to read certain books completely wiped my thirst for them. All those story-lines I should be reading... I just can't let them go to waste.
I haven't had a writing blog for close to a year now. Let's hope this one is more of a success than the last.
