Hello love bugs! We all start a hobby for a reason so I am going to discuss what inspired me to start blogging and why I love it so much.
Growing up my mom always encouraged me to write. She has always had an niche for English and literature. I got my passion for reading and writing from her. As a young child she would give me a writing prompt on Monday and I had the week to finish it. As I got older I continued to read but I stopped writing for awhile. A few weeks ago I had that writers itch again. I had all these ideas in my head that were screaming to get out. That is when I started my blog. Once I started writing again I knew that this is what I was made to do. Shortly after I started writing I got a job at the Jonesboro Sun newspaper where I write and I LOVE IT! I honestly had no idea if my blog would ever kick off or if anyone would ever read it. Luckily for me, I have a great support system who pushes me and encourages me to keep writing.
I love to write because it removes stress that I have and it keeps my writing skills sharp. But the most important reason why I love writing so much is because it helps me find a piece of myself that only writing can bring out. I can completely let loose and find a raw, vulnerable version of myself. I have found that when I am in that state, I write the best. Definitely the best side of me in my opinion.
Now that I have opened the creative part of my mind, I see inspiration all around me. I live, breathe and dream of ideas for my blog, novel ideas, even short story prompts. Choosing writing to play a big part of my life is the greatest decision that I have ever made. I would encourage anyone who is on the fence about starting to write, to just go for it. If you have the passion and the drive for writing, then do it! Even if nobody is reading it, keep pushing because the day you give up will be the day that you could reach out to someone.
What inspires you in your life? What pushes you to go to the next milestone? Let me know in the comment bar below! If you have any writing ideas that you would like for me to write please feel free to let me know! Also, I thinking about making some "Buggy's Blog" shirts, if you would like to see a preview, let me know! Have a transcendent Thursday!
