I am trying to find ways to write more. I have been working on a murder mystery, but every time I go to write it I feel very disconnected from it. I believe it is because I lost the creative spark that is necessary to write through years of trauma and other stuff. That part of our brain that says we have to be an adult. I think there are voices that have to be appeased in my own head that are about my own past, while I move forward with writing. There are non-fiction things that need to be shared to clear out the clutter of my mind. It is like I need to clean out my attic in order to be able to move forward with my writing. I want to, however, keep writing. With this in mind, I am going to start utilizing this book that is pictured above. It is called “All Are Free to Write” by Sheila Allee. I will include the picture every single time I post from a prompt from this particular book. I am starting at week 1, even though it is into February. I will continue it for one year from this week.
Prompt 2
What traumatic experiences have you had? Pick one and describe what happened. Keep your pen moving and write whatever comes. Take note of how you feel when finished.
Traumas I will discuss:
- Physical Abuse
- Homelessness
- Drug abuse
- Verbal Abuse
- Sexual Abuse
Tomorrow will start the writing about these. I will include my emotional state after sharing each one of them. These are going to be more challenging to do, so please understand if they get posted later in the day then the other posts. It may be posted at night.
