Writing inspiration
It's been a while since I've written anything. Due to life events I've had to step away from maintaining my blogs and participating in the indie web space. For some reason, writing also went along with it. Off goes all the plans and new-year resolutions, writing challenges and all that jazz.
I used to enjoy writing. English language and literature courses piqued my interest. It inspired me, nudged me, pushed me forward. It opened my eyes and guided me into a fascinating realme of figurative language, appreciating the little things, expressing with flourishes.
You write what you read. Prose I read that inspires need not be the good story. In fact, that seemed to matter rarely. It's the way a story is told, the way the prose unravels and emcompasses you. The pace, the rhythm, the vocabulary, and the uncountable emotions it evokes. I write when I feel inspired. I feel inspired when I read something phrased cleverly, something that evokes emotion and fills me with awe. Clearly, when I stepped away from the indie web, my source of inspiration waned -- coupled with my shifting of focus in my reading of novels, my "brain food" is all but starved.
I've found joy in reading people's new-year resolutions. It provides a different, rather truthful window into someone. Their goals mirrors their worries. What do they wish to possess that they do not already? How do they plan to go about solving their issues? It's hard not to feel the tiniest sense of pride in oneself when you've read someone is struggling with something you're successful in.
