No more excuses.

    Developing a need or want to write for me, for the past several years has been one of the most difficult things. As a younger kid, I was writing nearly constantly. Whether it be fanfiction, or something I made up completely on my own. Somewhere along the way, though, I lost my desire and love of writing. 

   Lately, though, I have found a fleeting feel of that want I cling to it desperately. I have a hard time forcing myself to do things that are not easy. Writing, for the most part, is easy, in the sense that I can do it if I really put myself at it. The biggest trouble is finding the motivation to look at my computer screen for more than ten minutes at a time to actually do it. 

    So, this blog is my way of telling myself that it is time to start, Its time to stop wasting time and actually try and pursue the future I want. This blog may be full of simple retellings of my day, but I feel like even writing a little bit is a victory, considering the lack of writing I have done for me over the past years.

    Yesterday I was laying in my bed, near four in the morning watching this Netflix Original called "Set It Up" and one of the protagonists said something that kind of just made everything shift. She said, 'If you are going to be a writer, you have got to stop making excuses not to write'. That really hit home for me, as I've been doing just that for months on months. It was just strange that I heard that just as soon as I decided to take writing a lot more seriously. 

So, here I am saying that I am done making excuses, and I am ready to become an author. 

Later.
