I’m going to try something different to make a habit of writing. Work is draining me, which isn’t always bad for me sleep (I’m a notorious insomniac, even when I’m medicated), but is terrible for my writing. I’m shutting down when I’m trying to write, and the block between me and my creativity is keeping me from doing one of the things that make me happy: storytelling. I’m going to be trying to fulfill writing prompts everyday, with a reminder set for the same time everyday. Today, it was a poetry prompt. Let me know what you think:
Prompt: Write a poem about an awakening. It could be literal or metaphorical.
Awake
Everyday, the same.
Wake up, work, sleep.
Everyday, the rut.
Wake up, work, sleep.
Writing is “my passion” (why is that in quotes), or so I say.
Everyday the same.
Wake up, work, sleep.
The wall, the block between me and my creativity.
Stronger.
Wake up, work, sleep.
Coming back to creativity.
Wake up. Work. WRITE. Sleep.
Self-care makes me tired.
Why is it so hard for me to stay awake?
Wake up.
Wake up.
Wake. Up.
Renewed motivation or ADHD hyperfixation?
What is the difference?
Does it matter?
I’m writing, aren’t I?
You’re reading this, right?
Wake up. Work. Write. Sleep.
No, don’t sleep.
Don’t shut down.
Wake. Up.
