The Lifeblood of My Writing

AHhh! I've missed writing good stuff! OKay, maybe what I think is good isn't even...but I miss writing stuff I like! I miss writing poetry that just comes out of me like a superspeed rant and says exactly what I want to, and how I feel. I miss it i miss it i miss it!

The interesting part is, if I don't have a lot of stuff going on in my relationships, I don't write a lot. I think that interactions are the lifeblood of my writing. And now that the semester's over, I feel like that's all that I have, and I like it. I feel like I've been getting to spend so much good time with people, and I want MORE! MORE MORE MORE! Haha.

I pack my days so full of people time, that alone/down time is from about 11pm-2am...yes. I'm a night owl. But the good thing is, usually that's when I write, too. Though lately I've been vegetating during those hours.

But going back to my previous thought about people and writing, I think this is why i've felt less connected to journalism. Or to reporting, anyways. It has not enough to do with inspiration, and with people. Yesterday, I was so inspired to start writing a novel. I didn't, and I forgot the idea, but that'll happen. Being that I'm a writer, and I'm absent minded a lot. But reporting maybe isn't my route of journalism. Something like reader's digest features, maybe, but not traffic stops and legislature (I HATE LEGISLATURE STORIES - writing them).

Anyways, here's looking forward to a summer of new poetry and would-be songs.
