Happy Saturday everyone! I know I’ve kind of disappeared for a long while, but let me tell you why. As my senior year of high school was coming to an end, I decided to take some time off from blogging so I could focus on school and graduation and all the events that come with senior year. But, to be honest, after school ended I got into this slump. I really don’t know how else to describe it. I slowly started to lose sight of the spark that drives my writing. Every time I turned on my computer or picked up my pen to write, nothing came to mind. Even the story ideas I had in my head slowly stopped coming to mind. I couldn’t dream up a story. I would just stare at a blank page and eventually give up completely. The spark that drives my writing kind of just died out. I gave up on it too.

It can be really easy for me to slip into this kind of blackout. It’s happened before. It can be even harder to climb out of the darkness. To relight that spark. But if there is one thing that I have learned over the years, it’s that the greatest things are never easy. Sometimes you have to fight for the things that you love the most.

I believe that writing is what I am supposed to do. There are stories that I need to tell. Stories that I believe are worth sharing. I want to inspire people, the way that my favorite authors have inspired me. I want to show people the things that I’ve learned. I want to show people the worlds I have built and the characters I have created.

I love to write. I love to tell stories. So, I’m going to fight for it. I’m going to climb out of this dark pit and relight my spark. It will be hard, but I’m always up for a good fight.
