If I waited till I felt like writing, I would never write at all -Anne Tyler

Keep your enemies closer

Hi, my name is Gun and I’m my worst enemy.

It took some ten plus years until I found my muse again and started writing, creatively that is.
Call it a prolonged writer’s block, procrastinating, pure laziness or just life itself, I could always find an excuse for not writing. It was never about not having the ideas or the opportunity to write.

And still, all this time I considered myself a closet writer.

Then it hit me, the reason why I was not writing. It was plain as rain. I was my worst enemy.

Feeling self-conscious and always too critical of what I had written. Thinking all had already been said and done. Wondering if anyone would actually read my stories and would they even like them.

What happened next?

Guess I grew older, got more mature and comfortable in my own skin? Or then I just realized I had to give it a try once more, just to be sure. I did not want to have any regrets later because of giving up or not trying at all.

So now I am writing again.

I have a blog, I write stories and yes, I am even dabbling in the world of script writing.

Have I changed?

Not really, I am still very critical with my own work, doubting if it’s even readable, but every day I succeed in writing anything, I feel exhilarated.
