Week 2: Poem a Day Challenge
Living a writer's life turns your brain ON! I am finding that I see ideas everywhere, and I feel a need to jot notes, even if just mental ones, throughout the day. In the morning, I can't wait to get started, and in the evening, I struggle to turn off my creative flow. This is just what I needed.
The idea of writing a poem a day came from my work with the book, Life is in the Transitions, by Brian Feiler. You can find lots of info at his website. In working through his series of questions and his transition toolkit (meant to help people who are navigating massive life transitions or Lifequakes), I notice a theme in my life. I am a writer, have been a writer since I was very little, when my mom sat my brother and I down and started us on our own journals to document our lives. When I asked myself the question, "What do you REALLY want to do?" the answer was WRITE. Then my friend Tammy told me about this book, Atomic Habits, by James Clear, and how what we do creates our identity, so if we want to be something, we need to DO that something. And my personal challenge to write every day was born.
I hope you enjoy this week's poems, week 2 of my challenge!
