100 Poems Challenge!
Hey world,
I'm back after a loooongggg (but not intended!) hiatus to let you all know that I have a challenge, and maybe if you're a writer you can take it too.
The goal is: to write 100 poems by the end of this year.
For some, this may not be extremely hard, but for me, it is, since I am SUPER busy with school, work, prepping for graduation, my eboard and member organization duties, blah, blah, BLAH. I'm tired. Sometimes lazy. Most of the time, unmotivated to write anything because I just want to sleep or watch Netflix all the time.
Lately, I've been going through a dry spell with my writing. What caused it? I have many answers for that:
1. Rejection. I submit to journals, contests, scholarships, and internships frequently, and as an English major they always ask for my writing samples. Now, I don't know if it's my content, structure, or what, but my stuff just has not been well-recieved past the stage and the classroom. That has left me feeling really insecure about my writing, and I end up with that "why bother" mentality.
2. Stress. Weird, since this used to be my biggest motivator in high school! But lately, the pressures of real life have found me not wanting to venture off into the poetic, or fictional world. I am really preoccupied with my actual self, I haven't had time to speak to my inner writer.
3. Static content. Simply, I don't feel like my writing is going where it should be. I still feel like I write like I did 5 years ago. Not good.
4. Other poets. Lol, this one is just silly, but it's true. Other poets (especially ones younger than me) make me nervous. They're so dope!
These 4 issues have been the biggest things holding me back in my writing process, but now that I've identified them, I think I'm on the road to completing my 100.
until next time,
jay
