A challenge for all you aspiring writers out there :
Start keeping track of your life
I have found it so much easier in school, my blog, and in general just getting things down, since keeping a journal. I've always had the 'gift of the gab' and thankfully I've been blessed with the skill to write well [at least I've been told that...], but it's a lot easier to overcome a writer's block if you are used to sitting down and just letting things out. I have been keeping a journal since grade five, pretty much daily up to last year, then on and off, once a week type journalling as I have gotten busier. I am trying to get back on track with it now--as you may have read in a previous post, I am now keeping a journal with me to write down thoughts, and ideas as they come to me. So this is a challenge to you all, start keeping a record of your life; whether it be on paper, or a blog, or on the wall of your room [I don't suggest this if you live with your parents... they don't like crayon on walls it seems...], be it in writing, or drawings, or photographs [or all of them if you like!] start to keep track. You'll thank yourself for it later, when you start to forget details of who you used to be!
