For me it was fountain pens. I kept wondering,,,,,,,,,why do I have so many, why do I keep getting more? Why don't I use them as much as I probably should? I think it was the universe's way of saying get back to the writing you used to do........

I had a LiveJournal in which I wrote creative fiction. It ran for quite a few years and eventually dried up. I was all written out. As I became more and more involved with fountain pens I felt the urge to write about them, their history, their appearance, their performance and so on. I began a WordPress blog around five years ago and it has satisfied my necessity to write ever since.
My soul hurts and feels sick and sad when I'm not writing. I feel better when I am. Not always great, but better. And I finally decided, if I can't put in big blocks of time writing, I'll write with some of the bits of time I do have.
The intention I live by now, as far as writing goes, is to write one poem a day, with no concern about quality. I fail more days than not, but I succeed more days than I used to.

Oh yeah. Writing is like a breath of fresh air.

I went to a "Magnet" High School (Fame/Glee/etc...) in Philly for Creative Writing, and I took some courses while at college....
Communications Major (had to take English/Bizz Writing classes for credit).
I journal daily to keep track of students seen for tutoring/sales/bizz stuff/etc....
This got me "in the groove again" to writing verse and poetry from time to time.

I stopped writing about 20 years ago. It was shortly after I graduated from college. Since getting into fountain pens, it has reignited that passion to write.
