Today is one of those days that I am struggling to write my slice of life. Not sure why to be honest, maybe because I am tired or may it is because I had a long day at work. In addition, I seem to be constantly thinking about what I am going to write on my blog. I am hoping that as the weeks go on it may become a more natural part of my daily life.
In order to feel my comfortable, I listened to a podcast by Georgia Heard, the author of Heart Maps
Georgia Heard is a writer, poet, and teacher of writing. She encourages us all to develop an “ache with caring” about our writing instead of just writing mechanically. As a student of writing, I am trying to learn how to care more about my writing. I decided today to map moments of my life that breath inspiration into my heart. I look forward to where these notes and sketches will take my writing. I am hoping the journey will lead me to a place that is more comfortable and more at ease with writing.
I feel like I went through all these same motions when I did my first SOL challenge - I can't wait to see what you will find on your heart map and how this month of writing will impact you on all the levels! I hope you are enjoying it, even if there are moments of challenge, too :-)
