Words

Lately I find myself wanting to get back into recreational writing. For those of you who are not familiar with this type of writing, I generally define it as any form of personal prose that is not school related. I used to do this all the time in high school, but when I got to college that hobby (like many others) fell to the wayside as school, boys, friends, and cough cough going out got in the way. During Christmas break I will hopefully start this again. I have been told that I am a genuinely good writer, but I find myself full of anxiety when turning in papers and asking people to edit my work. Writing is very personal to me. It truly is an expression of the soul. Sex and the City makes it look so easy. My eventual goal in life is to start my own magazine. It has been a dream of mine for a long time. The written word moves me in many ways. It is where I find a lot of my inspiration. Writing is eternal, it never dies. Classic authors are still around because their work was important and is continuously passed on. There is so much beauty in that because the written word keeps us grounded. We are brought back to our primitive roots. Sure the art form has technically and commercially, but it is still at its core simple and pure in nature. As I was perusing some of my favorite websites I found some great quotes that I thought I would share.

Enjoy the crisp, sunny day! 

Affectionately,

Annie
