I hope other experimenters are doing better than I have been. I’m assuming they are since there have been no posts in a while. I imagine everybody pouring their souls out onto paper and not having enough umph left to blog. Writing takes a lot out of you and it takes a lot of time to do it right. So, how am I finding the time to post? I haven’t been writing, plain and simple. I think my last note was on the 15th. I’m not ashamed by this fact. I don’t want to force myself to write when I’m not feeling it. But I am a little bummed that some of my intended recipients have not received anything. I still have a list sitting here of a few more people I’d like to write to.
My problem is that I don’t really fancy myself a writer of letters. I don’t find it fair to fill people in on detail after detail of my daily life without having the give and take of a verbal conversation. And I’m not really good at showing affection through words. I always feel like my words fall short of my feelings. I’d prefer to show how I care about someone through actions and little gestures. So when it is time to write, what is left to write about when daily life and emotions are not my strong subjects?
With that said, the three or four people left on my list that I really would like to write to may still receive notes, but most likely not in the month of April. One day soon I’ll be inspired to sit down and have a writing marathon, but that day is not today. With two days in the month left to go, I wish for my co-experimenters to finish strong. I envy your words.
