Wandering Mind Written Down

I want to write…more precisely, I want to be a writer.  Not a literary author because I’m not that talented – I just want to be able to write articles or some other short form writing.  When I was younger I honestly felt this was an achievable goal but years have passed me by and somewhere along the way I lost that inspiration.  Now I’m a middle aged man and time has dusted that old dream…but now that I’ve found it, I stare at it but I have no idea what to do with it.  All I know is that I want to write…again.

I see these new jobs which involve writing…in both persuasive and informative formats and these people make a great living…and I think to myself, I like writing, how come I can’t do that but then I remember that those individuals are great because they truly know the subject they write on and unless I try my hand at becoming a general freelance writer I honestly think that I won’t be able to reach the basics of this new aspiring goal.

Recently I remembered that nearly a decade ago I began posting random pieces of writings, I don’t necessarily consider them blogs but it carried that essence.  How random?  If you haven’t read them yet, then help yourself…but basically, they were either of dreams I’ve had which either still linger in my mind or I ended up writing down to not forget and also of the happenings during a few of the road trips I’ve taken.  Oh, yeah…I also wrote an embarrassing fauxem (fake poem cause I don’t consider myself a poet but then again, it rhymed. Even more embarrassing since I have so much “fauxetry” I decided to publish a handful as an e-book on Amazon). I’ve decided that I’ll leave it there instead of deleting it cause I find it humbling and like I said, embarrassing.  It’s better to make fun of yourself first rather than letting others take the first whack.

Not that anyone has beckoned for me to continue this faux blog, but since it still exists in WordPress I guess I’ll dust off this old dream and begin writing again.  I have more to tell on both topics, especially on traveling because I’ve taken more road trips since the last entry (which I realize remains an incomplete story to tell).  Some of these road trips include my daughter and one of my nephews, so I may just ask them their input of their experiences.  Now that I’m able to, I guess I can include photos I’ve taken of said trips.

Hopefully I’ll post entries much more frequently than I previously did.  Also, hopefully this will reinvigorate this dream of writing and in turn give me that push to become a freelance writer of something, if not of life in general. 

Stay tuned for more…
