I'm a writer? I forgot.

So I've been a terrible blogger as of late. But I never promised much, so I'm not that concerned.

With the new year, I found myself making a few New Year resolutions even though I don't see the point in them since I inevitably break them a few weeks in. One of these so-called "resolutions" that I made was to write more. Not just in a blog, but more creative writing as well.

I used to write a lot. I mean, a lot a lot. But as real life got in the way, my writing sort of took a back seat and then whenever I did write, I felt as though it wasn't as good as it could be. Frankly, I feel like I haven't produced anything good creatively since high school when my "budding" journalism career was just taking off (and we all know how well that turned out). Now any writing I do is copywriting for work and that's not really lending itself to creativity. My creative juices have run out and I need to figure out a way to get them back.

So I guess that my biggest resolution is finding more time or any time really to write everyday. I actually have a few old goofy books that have the one word pages and scenarios that no one ever seems to find themselves in so that should be a good jumping off point. Of course, there's still the tour de force idea that I've been kicking around for a few years as I've been unable to figure out how to set it up. Maybe this is the year I finally figure it out.

I hope 2009 is much more promising that 2008. It already is in my estimation.
