I used to write all the time.... Whether it was in my diary or poetry, I always had a notebook hanging out of my back pocket or in my bag. What happened?? My grandma always said that she was going to be the first person in line to get a signed copy of my first book. Somehow I lost my way.... My mom always wanted me to get my diaries compiled because I was constantly scribbling in one. I don't know if I would ever do that because of how very personal that is. I don't mind letting people see my thoughts, but I censure them a little before they hit the page. In my diary, I let out everything, including what I don't want anyone to know or what would probably hurt someone's feelings.
What brought this up is that I saw the blog of one of my closest friends that showed she got a book of her photography published. That is so wonderful and amazing, and I am very proud of her. When we started talking, it didn't seem as if she had confidence in her work or herself. I had no clue why because she's gorgeous, sweet, and unbelievably talented! Well, it looks like she finally found her way a little bit.
This also made me realize that I used to want to get a book published. I wanted to get my poetry out there or something.... I want to find my way back. Maybe I could get there some day....
Yes you are now following me ^_^ Yeah I saw yours on your facebook and thought that it was such a great idea. I need the writing back. It was always such a huge part of me. I got some of my notebooks out and am planning on going through some of my stuff from years ago and try to edit it some and make them better. I thought that'd be a good starting off point to get me back into the swing of things. You inspire me every time i see something that you have posted or said. your work is beautiful and i am definitely getting that book. i will be so honored to display it in my home and let everyone see how amazing your work is. and id really like if you could sign it whenever we get a chance to finally hang out. im blessed to have you as well. it makes me sad that we havent had a chance to talk anymore, but i see how busy you have been with the book and everything! its wonderful and im proud of you. keep getting your work out there! i hope to have a large collection of books by you. hopefully some day i will have a book to send you thats by me ^_^ always know that i am proud of you too. <3
