100 Naked Words — Day 50
Not What I Thought I was Going to Write
Reflections, Ripples and Ramblings of a Restless Mind
My plan was some great piece of writing, of wisdom analysing my 50 days on 100NW. It was going to be pithy and witty, erudite and insightful.
But I forgot that I wanted to write about that.
So I wrote this instead:
I started wondering if I was experiencing burnout. My writing has felt very forced recently and I have been struggling to draw upon my experiences in the same way.
Everything feels a little stale and a bit forced.
Until the poetry hits.
And it hits every morning, every day. It lifts me up and carries me so far above myself that I feel as if I’m watching my body create a trail along the paths it walks.
What poetry does for me is order my thoughts, even though the writing itself can be disordered, chaotic.
Maybe I’m not burning out. Maybe I’m burning up…
