The Fading Light of a Fallen Star

As I was organizing my bookshelves recently and came across a bounty of my writings from many many years ago. I curiously sifted through them remembering the times I had written the essays, articles, and short stories. Some were for class assignments and others for pleasure.

It was a sad sense of nostalgia. Back then I had talent. My language a literary style was beautiful almost poetic in structure. So vastly different than the word vomit I force out these days. I can't quite figure out what happened. What shifted so much that every time I sit to create It comes out a stream of poorly thought out garbage. I write my blogs and a place to squeeze out my rantings.

So what am I to do to correct this most heinous crime I have committed to myself? Search the web for free online courses and search for a group, once again, to help in building a creative friendship. I find having people creating works of writing to discuss and bounce ideas off of is very useful.

Wish me luck as I dive into self teaching and working hard. I need to do more of that hard work thing anyway.
