I stopped writing because....

It's been....???...I don't know how long since I write like a beast - wrote like mad.

When I started back in 2011, I can finish a chapter in two hours and update twice in a day, like my brain is throwing up a million ideas in a second. Come 2012, my imagination is still on steroids, unstoppable, like an open faucet. Until 2015 came. All of a sudden, my head emptied. I thought it's just a short-time writer's block. Turns out, it's more than that. Then I realize, maybe I have to live (as in live. Go out. Socialize. Get off the computer) to be able to write again. With high hopes, that's what I did. I lived. Brushing off my health issues, I went out with friends, mingled with new people, do whatever there is to do that has no connection with writing. It was fun. Life was fun. Thing is, I'm bleeding to come back to writing. I tried, not only once, twice, thrice, but over twenty times, but it just doesn't work the way it used to. 

Once again, I decided to live. I indulged myself with what the world offered me, not knowing that in the middle of it all, I'm already in the process of going back to what I love most: WRITING. 

About a month ago, I woke up thinking about the stories I haven't finished and for the first time in MONTHS, I picked up a pen and my old notebook (where Diary of a fan girl is written). It took me some time to gather my thoughts, be in good condition, then after a while, the pen started moving. It was on a roll. It was so random. But, it felt so good. At that moment, I knew I'm going to get my groove back again. At that moment, I knew I'm coming home. At that moment, I'm happy because I'll have the chance to bring my readers and other people joy, bring them happiness, and let them live another life even if it's just fiction. To add up to that, my Dad sensed that I'm going back to writing, giving me big books of jotted pads to start new stories on. Now, I've written ten chapters to continue one of my unfinished stories, and I can say, Bonbon (name of my brain) is at it again, like a new oiled damn machine. And, CIAM24, is back on track, with new experiences, and a renewed enthusiasm. 

 

Have a good day!
