Daily Writing Exercise 11/26/23: My not so triumphant return to blogging. But I need the practice.

In this wave of Post Divorce Clarity I'm currently experiencing, I've found myself writing a massive piece of work. The last time I've finished writing a similar massive piece of work was twenty years ago. It's not good at all. But the point is, I finished it. I haven't finished one since. 

*Before I go on, I like to be vague. I like to attempt to keep some mystery. Keep that in mind.*

With my divorce finalized and the house I once lived in with said person on the verge of going back on the market; a tyhpoon of emotions are coming over me. These emotions are stemming from the fact after the house is sold, its truly over. I'm not good at permanent goodbyes. But on the other hand, I'm ready to completely put that part of my life behind me. Only to remember it from time to time.

With all that said, I've been channeling my emotions into writing. I haven't wrote this heavy in a long time. I don't booze anymore (a year and six months sober) so I have to channel this energy somehow. Why not write ? Why not write with the intention of doing something with it ? Why fucking not ?

But on the other hand, I'm an adult in their mid thirties. I work 2 two jobs. I get run down more easily now. I just need to find that motivation. Even if it means returning to a form I'm not great at. Like blogging. 

Why am I coming back to blogging ? 

It all goes back to 7th grade english. My english teacher introduced us to the concept of "Daily Writing Exercises". Essentially, spend about 15-20 minutes daily of just writing anything. It doesn't matter if it makes sense or not. The point of this exercise is to get your creative juices flowing for whatever you plan on writing about. Hence, why I named my blog this.

Thanks Mrs. H for the inspiration.
