Writing on your blog definitely counts and it's a great way to continue practicing in the meanwhile! <br /><br />Lua - It's not super silly at ALL - I have the SAME fears! It's like worrying the well will dry up, but it won't :). We just have to keep finding time to write and keep believing in ourselves.WritingNuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16326756274887055685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883235275007051023.post-4273166067104140222010-06-30T04:52:53.173-04:002010-06-30T04:52:53.173-04:00It is a necessity for me… I have the need to write...It is a necessity for me… I have the need to write and when other things get in the way I find myself frustrated and panicked, I have this absurd feeling that if I don’t write for a few days the urge and words will disappear and I’ll never be able to write again… I know its super silly but it does get me worried and I find myself making excuses to ignore life and go back to writing :)Luahttp://likeabowloforanges.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883235275007051023.post-50384421665924418352010-06-30T04:50:29.394-04:002010-06-30T04:50:29.394-04:00I was pretty much exactly like that. When I was in...I was pretty much exactly like that. When I was in school I wrote all the time. Maybe not every day, but at least on a regular basis. Everything from short stories to unfinished novels to whatever was bugging me that day. Then, when I went to university I almost stopped both reading and writing, overwhelmed by all the new respoinsibilities (and opportunities) I suddenly had. And even though I adjusted eventually, it took me the longest time to get back into <i>writing</i>. <br /><br />By now I am stuck in the seemingly neverending "I want to write but I don't have the time but I want to write" cycle. I do try to keep my blog up and running, though, so that should count as writing (even if I barely do - to me "writing" equals fiction writing, for some reason)<br /><br />Great post, and great blog :)Cruella Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11422848273167338884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883235275007051023.post-29919350255614060572010-06-29T18:28:56.092-04:002010-06-29T18:28:56.092-04:00Alex - Yes, you may be right.

Thank you for stopping by!<br /><br />Joanne - I feel so honored :) You are correct, having some kind of a notebook handy is a great way to jot down your ideas for later.<br /><br />Aubrie - Wow, that trek sounds exhausting. And you're right, we can't dictate life, so that's all we can do.<br /><br />Kenda – My sentiments exactly! Life always does seem to be a constant juggling act.<br /><br />Theresa – Ahhhhh...that song was stuck in my head all day too - I love it :). I hope that you are able to put that routine in place! I'm going to keep trying too.<br /><br />Mesmerix – You are the BEST at finding these helpful sites! Thank you!<br /><br />Rebel - Yes! That's exactly the problem. Strange, isn't it?<br /><br />Erinn - Blogging definitely helps! I'm mentally writing too, but then I forget if I don't actually write it down!<br /><br />Mohamed – This blogging business has turned out to be so amazing in more ways than one. And you are very welcome!<br /><br />Talli – I agree with you. And isn't it the best job in the world? :D<br /><br />Lisa - Sometimes it's like a never ending hurdle - you just have to keep trying to get over it. And in the end, you feel stronger and more satisfied because you were able to get over the bump. <br /><br />Jemi - It IS. It's far to easy to get lost in that world sometimes.WritingNuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16326756274887055685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883235275007051023.post-34631025406222211482010-06-29T17:59:44.507-04:002010-06-29T17:59:44.507-04:00It's hard to fit it all in - and to always rem...It's hard to fit it all in - and to always remember that real life comes first!Jemi Fraserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02214408467456320167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883235275007051023.post-74957859121238610612010-06-29T17:53:29.976-04:002010-06-29T17:53:29.976-04:00I can relate only too well.

You might get more character studies that you wouldn't have gotten otherwise. Or maybe there's a new angle you haven't thought of yet but will be revealed during 1 of those interruptions.<br /><br />Take it in stride & keep on writing!notesfromnadirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09904500676081267972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883235275007051023.post-15901081303569138342010-06-29T13:39:38.242-04:002010-06-29T13:39:38.242-04:00I think writing can become a big part of your life...I think writing can become a big part of your life - like eating and sleeping. <br /><br />Writing is basically my job, but it's also something I do on the weekends, 'after hours' etc, because I love it.Talli Rolandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04780882465745107715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883235275007051023.post-61285361484380657972010-06-29T12:06:26.265-04:002010-06-29T12:06:26.265-04:00At least you got to write on your blog :)

It took up the whole day and I didn't write a thing. I try to make up for it on days where I do have a lot of time.
