The Write Retreat

I like to write! This just in. A slow discovery over the last year. After a lifetime of assuming I have no hobbies and avoiding any resemblance of fun. Writing is just the beginning actually. I've also found that outside of a mandated school subject, I do like to read! And I like math. And I'm proud of my ability to spell. I guess I just need to be reading/counting/spelling materials of my choosing. And so it is with writing. So putting my type-AAA personality aside at the risk of accomplishing nothing, I write. Although I have started to see some benefit from personal journaling, this online avenue seems to motivate. If somebody somewhere falls upon these words, then perhaps they can be put to use. To teach? encourage? inspire? This past year I've been both discouraged and intrigued in regards to the prospect of writing. All I know is this feels very healthy. A way to release, to let go and to laugh... a little scary, a bit revealing, but perhaps a very good use of my time. A necessary retreat. Let's see if I can stay convinced of that.
