A writer's perspective

So... here I am, writing from a writer's perspective... I really don't know what that means, to be honest. At least not right now. I guess it's something I'll have to learn over the next few months. I've always enjoyed writing, drawing, or doing really anything that could allow me to make something out of nothing. The power to create is by no means underrated in this world, though in certain areas I suppose it is.

In any case, I've been looking at my life from a third person point of view ever since I was about four years old, always narrating different segments of my life, as if my own experiences were being read back to me from a page. My emotions, circumstances, and even possible conclusions to situations would all be played back in my mind.

This has had it's downfalls, making me very secluded and introverted, but that's something I'm getting over fast, and I also have been able to really take a look at my life and the lives of others from different points of view. I've been working on not fantasizing about conversations that haven't happened, arguments that have no base, and making up things that would bother me. Great for books, not so much for real life. I've had to control my narrative tendencies, but at the same time, it's given me a great amount of ability when it comes to expressing myself on a page; in writing. That's where I can take all my thoughts, deliberated and edited, and pour them out as articulately as I can, and much better than what I would be able to do verbally on the spot, as I'm sure it would be for most people. That, too, I'm trying to get past, though.

In any case, my life is about to get very busy, and I consider myself very blessed for that. If it's one thing I can't stand, it's being idle and having nothing to do. I love having fun, but let's face it, here in Yuma there's not a whole lot to do without a group of creative people or a family of your own to tend to. Still, I'm excited for this next chapter in my life, and I'm excited about sharing it. Hopefully I can catch onto this whole "writer's perspective" thing if I haven't already. All in good time!
