And...We're Back!

The fire is back. Somehow, writing every day FINALLY got my creative spark flowing and I'm writing poetry again. Strangely though, the way I'm writing poetry is different than anything I've done before. I'm not quite sure if it's because I'm more conscious of how others view my poetry and I'm afraid to go back to how I wrote in high school, or if it's simply because my writing style has developed. Frankly, I'm hopeful that it's the second reason, because I'd rather know that I'm growing as a writer rather than think that I'm bound by my fear. And in fact, if I do choose to assume that I'm developing a new writing style I can make it mine. (Sorry if that sounds confusing). Anyway, this new style is one where I am much more conscious of every word that I write and I think that my poems will shape up to be more concise. (Unlike my blog posts). I don't have anything finished yet, but when I do I'll post it in the poetry section. The main point is that I'm so happy to have regained some type of creative spark because I thought that college had extinguished it. And now that it's back I'm going to keep writing so that it doesn't go away.
