Writing has always been a part of my life in one way or another. I began keeping a diary when I was seven years old and by the time I was eleven, I felt the need to expand my effort and thus started my first novel. I believe it is the consistency with which I have pursued writing that has aided my development as a writer. However, that is not to say that I have never experienced a lull in creativity. As with any art form, writing is sensitive to the happenings of my life and often suffers neglect when I am consumed with other things. Time passes and the work goes unattended. A sense of guilt develops every time I open my laptop to do something other than write. I should always find the time, I scold myself. Writing has been good to me. It has given me voice to my imagination, enriched my life creatively, and fed me in a way unparalleled by anything. Then one morning, for no reason predetermined or obvious, I start a new line. Then another, and another. I am writing again. One day turns into two, then into a week, month, and suddenly the rhythm is back, charged and ready. I am reminded, once again, that writing is never truly absent, but rather always waiting, hoping to be pursued and ignited.
