The Writing Bug

When I was younger I wanted to be writer.  (I wanted to be a lot of things, but this is one of the more grounded ones I came up with.)  I thought I had some good ideas and I liked seeing what flowed out of my hand onto paper.  Well, life got in the way and I lost it, but I’ve been getting the writing bug.  I love writing lyrics, even though I’m not sure I’m good at it, but I’ve started a new song and I think this one will turn out really nice.  I’m also trying to write a book, but I decided I’m going to map it out before really starting.  Usually I’d just write and even I didn’t know what was going to happen in the story, but since this is a little more than just some story I’m writing for an English class I thought it would be a good idea to get a structure.  I need to make a conscious effort to make time for it and to find some alone, me time.  I’m worried that some of my creativity has left me though… Life can be very draining and zap any good, creative energy you have.  Let’s just hope this is not the case.  I have so many interests, hopes and dreams – I don’t want to let anything pass me by and have regrets later.  I have a thing about time and feeling late (for a very important date, as the White Rabbit would say).  I don’t know where I got this obsession with time, but it’s been with me since I was a little.  I don’t want this writing experience to be one of the things I regret.
