I used to write all the time. Starting from when I was a little girl, I
made up stories or wrote poetry. I even
created plays with the neighborhood kids, but I never put those down on
paper.
My writing became pretty prolific as I grew older. I filled countless journals with ideas,
poetry, quotes, doodles – whatever poured out of my head. I took creative writing classes to give me
some structure and I was eventually published.
But somewhere in that time of early adulthood my writing started to
slow. I dabbled with my novel (still in
the works), but something happened in my head that caused me to go longer and
longer between creating. I guess fear
put itself on those unused pages and kept growing. Now, I’m stuck with all this potential but
I’m having a very hard time putting anything on paper.
The Perrin P Piddy books were supposed to be a way to start
writing again, even if it is the most elementary of writing. I haven’t sold 1 Perrin P Piddy book online
this month, but that’s okay. What really
matters is that I start the next book, right?
I thought Perrin P Piddy Works Out would be the next book, but then I
thought it would be bad if a kid decided to drop a dumbbell on his foot or
something because he was inspired by Perrin.
See? Fear is at it
again. Maybe the next book should be
Perrin P Piddy Confronts His Fears!

Facing your fears is not easy, especially since the fears in our mind are gargantuan compared to what happens in real life. Seems the longer we hold onto the fear the bigger it grows.
ReplyDeleteI don't think putting your talent down for a vacation is bad....just as long as it keeps nudging you to pick it back up again at some point.
I still want to read your novel even if it isn't finished.
