The Black Hole

School has overwhelmed my entire life to the point where I just stopped writing altogether. The promises I made to myself to not only update this blog but to continue to post excerpts and work on my book were tossed to the side. Academia is all-consuming. Now that I am in the Masters Program, the reading takes up all my time. Unfortunately, it is not as exciting and as fun as I hoped. I started to feel like something was missing and I needed to figure out what to do about this feeling. Soon I realized that it was my own writing that I needed. So I picked up a planner and I am going to carve out time to write. No matter what papers are due or what reading needs to be done. I cannot continue to neglect this part of myself. I need this and it fuels my creativity. I will be updating this space regularly. I look forward to sharing my thoughts with you. Thanks for waiting patiently. Off to write.
