Time and time and time again

Like I have said before being a writer really does seem to be about just showing up, I often feel that means I will have to show up a lot.

Lately I have actually been able to get quit a bit of writing done, I had been writing with out much of a purpose,but about two weeks ago I finally found one. It truly does give me so much more to work with than just a few ambiguous thoughts. The purpose has already been altered twice but it still exists in a very very simple form, and with that I have the motivation to continue working, and somehow the words to work with.

I always had the desire to take my writing and turn it into a book, but if I was to continue writing random essays every two to three months I would be working on my book for a very long time. I needed something a little more, something that would give the story purpose, not the book or the author. Once found that small measure of purpose has given me the ability to write quality stuff nearly everyday. Things are already beginning to shape up, even the random essays have purpose and are fitting into the greater purpose of the story, things have meaning.

It truly is an interesting thing, add a little sense of purpose to something and it becomes easier to do, you find yourself with motivation that you did not have before, and with the creative prowess to do it.

I guess it is something to think about when you begin to feel a little stuck.
