I realized I wanted to be writer my senior year of college. Before that, I was just a dreamy kid who loved the written word. I've only been out of college for two years now, and my writing has been off and on, mainly due to lack of inspiration and a hectic life. In the last few months I've finally started to figure things out, not only physically but mentally. I have my "space," a tiny little carpeted loft in which I can barely stand up. It suites me though. It's like a little nook of inspiration. 

I am struggling with some things however. For one, I am having a little trouble getting into that deep child-like mindset. I try to think about myself as a young child, what I did, what I played, how I acted. It's a difficult thing to do. I'm not really around children either. My other issue deals with wanting to educate the world about a misunderstood religion. Religion is a very touchy subject in and of itself. Then you bring children into the picture, and it can get hairy. I struggle with the option of standing up for my faith and having the courage to write about it or going with the mainstream and dumbing it down. I suppose it boils down to whether you're just writing to write or if you're just thinking about getting published. I do believe that there is a need for it, but it may not be in the mainstream market. 

Oh well. Write what you know and write what you love right?

I haven't been writing long, but I'm hoping to really get in touch with my inner child and produce some great stuff.
