raining words

I took a break for a little while. I am back. The picture thing was fun...I liked remembering to bring my camera everywhere with me in hopes of capturing a morsel of life. And I loved sharing the little things in my past days with all of you. It made home, literally and figuratively, feel just a little closer. And I like that. I needed that.

There will still be pictures, but probably not as many. I think 2011 is calling for more words from me. I'm a writer at heart. None of the pictures I took were really very good anyways :) Words are powerful and I like that feeling. Rudyard Kipling even went as far to say that 'words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind.'

So words it will be. I'm not really sure how it will look...stories, quotes, questions, jokes...maybe one, maybe all. Whatever I need to say - because it's my story. Who knows. There is really nothing to writing. All you have to do is sit down, breathe, and stop being afraid to feel what you feel. After all, perhaps tears in a writer may mean tears in readers.

My goal is to feel alive. I don't want to just tell someone it was raining, but have them experience the sensation of being rained upon.

I'm not quite sure how to do this... but I am at least going to try.

Thanks for following the journey.
