I know this is getting posted really late, since I normally post on Sundays.
With the difficulty in staying motivated, I'm wondering if I should adjust my writing schedule again. I'm thinking if maybe I should just write when I feel like that. Of course, then I wouldn't be writing very often.
Truthfully, I don't really know what I want to do with this. I know a (very) few people read this, but I don't know if anyone gets anything out of what I write. Maybe it's just me, and I have the forum to just get off my chest.
I want to keep writing about things that are meaningful to me, but at the same time, I feel like so much of my writing has become rote. I haven't been too many things I've wanted to do, like write reviews of movies I've seen or things that interest me. I like writing about my walk with the Lord, and I hope I say things that might be of interest and an encouragement to others. However, that's not all I ever wanted to write about. There are times where I feel like that's what I should be doing the most, even though there are times when I feel like I'm reaching for stuff. I really do want to write things that honor the Lord, but I sometimes feel like I'm writing things that are just filling space. I thought might be a big reason why I've never been terribly happy with a lot of what I write.
Although I've always enjoyed music and some art, writing has always been my major creative outlet. I don't play any instruments, and I've ever had much in the way of artistic skill. Late last year, I briefly thought about taking up sketch work (something I haven't done since an art class I took as a high school senior) and even procured a sketchbook. However, in the eight months since then, I've never picked up my sketchbook and done any drawing. Once in a while, I'll see my sketchbook and think about doing any sketching but I don't get around to it.
We'll see what happens. I don't want to give up writing, even if I sometimes find it difficult to be motivated. I still want to give sketching another try.
