Alas, I find myself in that awkward position yet again of having to justify why I haven't written in over a month. This time, I have no valid reason. I've simply been doing other things and procrastinating, saying to myself "I'll do one tomorrow". It's silly that I've felt like writing is a chore, because writing is the one thing that truly makes me feel alive and good about myself. So my logic is, why write if I don't want to? But that logic is flawed because once I start, I find it difficult to stop. It was Ernest Hemingway who once said (and this is a favourite quote of mine), "
There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed." That quote is painfully and beautifully true. William Wordsworth also had an amazing quote, "
fill your paper with the breathings of your heart". I think I may need to permanently tattoo these quotes onto my person for motivation when I feel like an illiterate dunce.
The one thing that I have been wanting to write about, especially lately, is the impact that the world of Harry Potter has had on my life. There aren't many people in my physical life who understand me when I say that it changed my life. Most of them look at me like my nose has all of a sudden turned into a snout, or my head has fallen off. And while I don't feel like I need to justify my love of anything in my life, I would like to try my hand at putting into words just how important this book series has become to me. Initially I toyed with the idea of writing one long post and trying to cram everything into it. But then I had a stroke of brilliance in the early hours of Monday morning. Come January, I will do yet another 30 day challenge, except Harry Potter themed. That way, I will be free to discuss a range of topics without having to condense any information. I hope that this will give you somewhat of an insight into one of the most important areas of my life.
Until next time fellow humans....
