I Love Writing, Too!

"Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind." -Catherine Drinker Bowen
I really don't know why I titled this blog, "I love writing, too" then again, maybe I do. I guess I titled this because some people think that you have to be young in order to write in a journal let alone to keep one. I really don't think that it matters how old you are, if you want to keep a journal, go for it! It (keeping a journal) helps me vent out when (besides God and James) I need to and not to mention it's my own personal way of talking to God (sounds weird, I know but it's true). I have more than one on-line journal but out of all them, this is the one that I use the most.
As far as I can remember, I have always loved writing. Whether it was short stories, comics, or just funny stuff, I just love to write. I guess that's why I majored in English while I was in college. My favorite classes were: Fiction Writing and History of Rhetoric. I liked Fiction Writing because of the fact that I can make up my own stuff. I remember writing a semi-autobiography about myself my Freshman year of college and my English teacher liked it so much that he recommended it to be on a collection of short stories that were written by students called "Free Falling"!!! I was so excited, but I didn't get to see the publication because of the fact that the book came out during the summer and I didn't know how to get it from there.
There was someone that wanted me to check their writing and see if there were any errors and of course, there was and they didn't want me to check their stuff again I guess because they wrote how they spoke and that always doesn't go well (makes sense? I hope). Even when I was younger, I made up a comic strip made out of stick figures and I don't remember what I named it, but it was pretty cute.
I am currently writing a story called "Dreams Do Come True" and to be honest with you, I am not really sure why I am naming it "Dreams Do Come True", but I know that for a fact that the title may change because it doesn't really fit what I am writing about. To tell you what it is about....hmmm...where do I begin? I think that I have so many topics and sub-topics that it's almost unbearable to be quite honest. But to tell you the main plot of the story: a girl that moves out of state to attend college, joins a sorority, meets the man of her dreams, and struggles to keep her faith in tact while she's away from home (with the help of the man of her dreams of course).
People love writing about anything from how their day went to just to vent about what is bothering them or to just to talk about their families and personally, I find it fascinating to read. The reason why I say that is because sometimes they (the people who write) are having the same problems are going through the same things that you are going through and it's great to relate to them. Autobiographies are my favorite books for that very reason.
Well, I think that I am done writing now beacause I think make that I know that I will go off on topic if I continue to write on here. Well, have a good weekend everyone and God Bless!
