Hopefully Something New

I just remembered that I still have this blog. Since I've forgotten about this blog altogether in the past few months, I guess it's pretty obvious that I haven't been much into writing lately. Well, that's not entirely true. I have been writing. Copious amounts of things. But in my journal, which no one except myself has permission to lay their hands on. Not that they'd really want to!

I remembered about Phoenix on the Shore when I briefly considered, a few days ago, whether I'd want to try writing a novel for November's National Novel Writing Month. In the end, I've decided not to. I'm already participating in a 'Walk 10,000 Steps' every day at work, and trying to write an average of five pages every day is a bit much for me, unfortunately. Also, I figure that I need to spend more time reading than writing anyway.

But a nice bright update - I have a feeling that my official identity as an Ally (the A in the LGBTQA) might be influential in anything that I may ever write (should I actually get back to some good creative writing). After a long, long time, I realize that it is more than essential to follow one's heart. I've been following my mind for my entire existence - but this is it. It's one thing to be confused. It's another thing entirely to know where you stand with yourself, but hesitating to do anything about it.

Yes, I know. None of this makes any sense. But in the end, I know my writing will be better for it. Less wimpy, if anything!
