Time
for another posting with the Insecure Writer’s Support Group,
where writers can share their insecurities and encourage one another. IWSG was
founded by Alex
J. Cavanaugh and we share our posts the first Wednesday
of the month.
Let me
be honest for few minutes here. Aside from messages to friends, the only
writings I have done lately have been prayers. They are usually passionate,
sincere, and from the heart. I have edited and shared some of my prayers
publically, but a lot of them are only between myself and God. That being said,
I sometimes feel this guilt about not writing enough shareable content. Yet,
the more I think about it, the more I realize that this is not something I
should be feeling guilty about. There are different seasons in life, and I am
not currently in a season to focus on my writing. I am finally ready to accept
the fact that I am not and probably will not become a career writer. Writing
will always be a part of my life, but it is not the center of my life.
Going
through the KonMari process with my belongings has taught me that sometimes it
is best to let something go. I guess my point is that I feel that it is time
for me to stop blogging with the IWSG. I will remain in the IWSG Facebook group
and I might still participate in some of the Instagram posts. I will also be
taking a break from blogging for the summer, unless I come up with a story for
the June WEP Challenge. It is hard to say goodbye, but it’s really only a “soft”
goodbye. I would like to thank the members of this group (and other bloggers
who are not in IWSG) for being supportive and kind to me, even in the times when
I did not return your visits. I really enjoyed my experience with the IWSG,
with the various types of writing that I tried out, and all the encouragement
and advice. I still plan to utilize some of the writing methods I’ve learned
through this group.
When I
return, I plan to take this blog back to its roots. I started off with
devotional posts and life lessons, and that is what I hope to start again. For
the summer, if there are any updates on my writing, you can find them on my Facebook page. And if you want to keep up with some of my other life
adventures, I check and post to my Instagram fairly regularly.
Thanks
for all your support!
