I'm just finishing up a creative writing class this semester and it has really inspired me to write a lot more than I have in the past. I've also written a lot more papers in the last two years than I ever have before.
I used to think that writing was my sister's thing so I stayed away from it...only occasionally writing in private and never finishing anything I started. Lately, however, I've been feeling more and more motivated to just put my thoughts on paper. Sometimes I'll be on my way to class or driving around running errands and I just get an overwhelming urge to put my feelings into words or describe what I'm seeing. I'm still embarrassed by my writing...especially anything fiction. I'm actually writing a novel, but I don't plan on doing anything with it. I just want to say I wrote one. I mean, lots of people write, but I'd love to write a full-length novel.
Anyway, I think another outlet can be a blog. I'm planning on traveling a lot this summer and it'd be really fun to document that in a blog. I'll also be taking the camera that bought from Aaron. It's funny...I had the same camera and my dad has one too. But during my crazy freshman year it got ruined when my drunken roommate (over 6 ft tall!) raised it over her head and threw it to the ground. Being drunk myself, I didn't even stop her or ask her to buy me a new one. Anyway, I was camera-less for several years until I finally got a cheap-ish but cute teal one from Wal-mart. It is a fine camera for parties and family pictures, but it's terrible for close-up nature shots that I love to take. So I sold it to my sister for $50 and bought my brother's old one for $20. A good deal. Seeing as I just bought a laptop, I expect I'll be able to upload and share the pictures easier this summer too. I hope that even if no one reads it, I'll have it to look back on.
