I am in a writers group online called Writers Rising - one of the contributors, Ramona, from Alone in the Holy Land ,wrote a piece describing how 'blogging has unclogged' her writing arteries.
This description really struck a chord with me - because it has done just that for me too.
I have captured that ever so elegantly with the accompanying pic have I not?
hahaha
I have always been somebody who has claimed to 'love writing' but prior starting this blog - there wasn't a lot of it happening.
Writing was just something I attached myself to when people asked what it was that I did.
Even though I didn't.
It is interesting the journey that I have been taken on now that I have started blogging.
The first month or so it was like doing a detox.
All of the stuff that had been clogging up my life starting oozing out of my fingers.
Stories about howI felt when I had found out I was pregnant, when I met the Cowboy - moving from Sydney to a One horse town , my ambitions, my goals, my lists .... it really was the unclogging.
Now that I have all of that out of my system I feel cleansed.
Like I have had a cyber colonoscopy.
Don't feel I have to get anything out of the system, or write my to-do list anymore. I feel like I have surged into the present and finally kicked the past to the curb.
I feel I have emptied my head and my heart onto the page of all the stuff that was just sitting there and not allowing anything new in - I have now made space for the new to enter.
And it is entering!
Not just into my head for my blog - but for my life in general.
I have discovered that for me writing is something spiritual, magical, meditation like.
I am elated and rejoicing in the world of opportunity I am now in, the wonderful people I am meeting and the contentment I am feeling.
I am not sure where my writing journey is going to take me now I am unclogged.
But I am just taking it one day at a time and enjoying the ride - I am kind've trusting that it is where I am meant to be.
Has anyone else had this sort of experience from blogging? Or am I a freak of nature? (don't answer the last bit)
