i need inspiration. i woke up this morning with one thing in my mind today: i need to get back on my writing. i don’t remember the last time i sat down and wrote a piece of literature (or anything that resembles that) —something i’d start and actually finish. and so after watching two movies in a row (Maid of Honour and Desperately Maybe —i have a knack for romantic comedies), i went down and looked for the old stuff I’ve written; old stories/novelettes, poems, fanfic, heck, even my old journals, but i can’t seem to find them anywhere. I remember filing it in a brown envelope i doodled pink stars on. also, i don’t remember if i hid them inside one of the many unpacked boxes from our ‘96 move (we’re lazy, i know). so after messing up my clothes with all the dust and possible cobwebs, i gave up. I CAN’T FIND MY STORIES. and it’s sad because just when i’m finally on my way to rekindling what i used to be so passionate about, my daily breather from the redundancy called “life”, i feel like the link is now forever lost and i’m going to find it hard to start from scratch.
on a lighter note, i’ve found 5 diskettes (yes, back in the day they were the only things to save files on) which hopefully contain some (at least 30%) of my writing. did i mention that i don’t usually save my work much less use a computer to write it in? yeah, seriously. i got so used to bringing large notebooks with me everywhere especially in school for when lectures got too boring and i thought of newer things to write about. i had thought of typing things up after i was done but the novellette i worked on the longest consumed 6 motebooks, i think, and by the time i was done i was too lazy to start typing it up. oh well.
i just hope i get to recover some stuff from the diskettes, otherwise, they’ll be of no good at this un-inspired phase i’m going through.
