week1 question 1

I have not written anything creative in several years. I use to write poems all of the time but lately I have not had the energy or the emotion to write anything. I don’t know why it doesn’t come as easy as it use to. I have poems that I wrote years ago and I don’t remember writing or where the thoughts come from. It is sort of like I go into a zone and all these organized thoughts come pouring out. Later I can go back and read what I wrote and I am amazed at the feeling and emotion that I put into what I wrote. Currently the only writing I do is in my private journal.
I think that I have several weaknesses that I could work on. When I write I have so many things that I want to say and I don’t know how to get it all out. I also don’t know how to relay my thoughts in a way that makes sense to the reader. I feel like I know what I want to say, but there are so many things that I want to say and I don’t know what to leave out. I also want to learn how to organize my sentences so that the structure is grammatically correct.
I think that my only strength is that I can come up with some valid points, but the way I see them in my head is not the way they come out on paper.
