Yes, I blog. I write articles. But I’m talking about fiction, creative non fiction, poetry - that kind of thing. I write most of the day, but it has been a long time since I’ve actually done the kind of writing that a literary publication would pick up.

I love all forms of writing. Blogging has been my most recent favorite. But what I’m finding is that I can’t ignore that part of me that enjoys writing essays and poetry and stories… I need to keep that in my life somehow.

This is my pact. Each day, I will make it a point to write in my journal. I even bothered to buy a small one that I can keep in my purse. And I’ll write whatever I want in it - the beginning of a story, a poem, an essay. I’ll go through it every now and then and develop the works into something more, if they want to be taken in that direction.

And why not? What do I really have to lose? And fifteen really isn’t that much. I can surely commit to that, right?
