Birthday Resolutions

I never make New Years resolutions. I figure I won't keep them anyway. This year, I have decided to make a birthday resolution.

Today is the first anniversary of Mum's death. I took the day off work & planned on writing today. I've been wanting to tap more into my creative side, and I've been wanting to write more, but my writers block is in full force right now. It's as if my mind is not clear enough to write, but I need to write to clear my mind. I've been so tired today I can't even think straight. My brother has landed himself in some trouble, but I'll save that story for another post tomorrow. Let's just say my stepfather has cut him off, so it's now my issue, and I've been to upset about it to concentrate on myself.

So my resolution is to focus & put the pen to paper. I've been thinking about writing a memoir on the subject of my mothers death and how it affected me, so I'm going to do it. The problem is, most of my ideas come to me while I'm drifting out of consciousness and into sleep at night. I received a journal from my Mum's best friend for graduation, so I'm just going to keep it w/ me at all times, that way I can write down my ideas as they come to me.
