Just keep writing

I’ve never really been one for New Year’s resolutions. I figure that if something is important enough for you to commit to doing then the date shouldn’t matter. But I do see the appeal of new beginnings in a new year. Especially this year.

For myriad reasons, I want to re-establish my commitment to writing regularly. Two writing challenges that I’d like to participate in during 2019, and the beginning of the new year itself, make the timing superb for a new start.

Writing is one coping mechanism that I know will be quite useful.

I know it won’t be easy. Ongoing health problems and a difficult (read: narcissistic and emotionally abusive) husband have been quite successful at derailing me and making me forget or ignore my needs.

Until now.

It’s time to make some changes. Change can be a heady, exciting, and scary proposition. That’s okay; I can deal with that. I’ve been dealing with far worse for quite a while. And trust me when I say that I’m not the only one who will need to adapt.

But whatever happens, I’ll simply keep writing. After all, that’s what writers do.
