When I write these days it is usually for a specific post for the blog be it clothing related, a blogger challenge or an opinion piece. What I can't remember is when I just wrote for the sake of it.
If you love to write then you know what I am talking about. You just ramble away on a piece of paper or in this case on my laptop; not sure what you are writing but somehow it just flows out of you and eventually, starts to tie itself together and make sense.
I used to write like that quite a lot and a few pieces made it on to the blog. I found it incredibly cathartic to use something that was rattling around in my head by putting it down on paper, seeing where my thoughts take me, never stopping typing, just letting it flow.
More than once I would stop typing, read back what I had written, and realised what I truly felt about something. What Stephen King said is so completely true, I write to find out what I think.
Free Writing I think they call it. It is something I would definitely recommend, whether you are just trying to find out what your opinion is on a particular subject, or you are dealing with an issue that you have been ignoring.
I call it my free counselling as whatever I am thinking about a lot, I write about it in one form or another and I am able to resolve the problem.
There is no point in this post today, so sorry if you were expecting one ;) I just wanted to do a little of what I used to. Ramble on, on this occasion it seems about how much I am missing writing, even though I am writing all the time. Odd. But then, I am. That's me.
Maybe I need another blog in addition to this one. Ramblings of a Crazy Lady or something.
Anyway. As you were.
I totally get what you mean sometimes when I blog all my thoughts just come spilling out! The time I really felt it was when I did the post about miscarriage as all the stuff that had been bottled up just poured out and I dealt with alot of feelings x
