Valentine to Writing
Writing,
So, hi. It's been awhile.
So, hi. It's been awhile.
Look, I'm sorry. I know all the playlists, inspirational pictures, and hours spent reading The Fault in Our Stars won't make you come back. What you need is for me to open the Word document and spend some quality time with you.
But you know, 2012 has kicked my butt. I've let it. Sometimes I forget that you're what makes me feel better through all of that.
Thanks for everything you've done. Thanks for bringing the right songs and people and settings and stories to me. It's helping, really--it'll just take a bit of time.
And hey, it was fun when we hung out on Friday, even if it was only for 500 words. I haven't been that honest with anyone in awhile.
It may feel that way, but this isn't the end. We'll get back together and it'll be beautiful; we'll break-up and it'll be terrible--over and over again. Thanks for being with me when I need you to be, and for waiting for me when I need you to wait.
We'll come back from this.
Love,
Brianne

Awww! Thankfully, writing is very forgiving; it'll be there for you. Always. :)
This is so lovely. Writing really is like a long-term relationship---there can be rocky times. But absence makes the heart grow fonder. I hope you spend more quality time with your Valentine soon <3
I know just how you feel--I'm falling in love with my WIP all over again, after a too-long absence to revise my other book.
"And hey, it was fun when we hung out on Friday, even if it was only for 500 words." - I'm so with you here. This is the kind of relationship I have with my current novel and my WIP. Writing is ever so patient!
Ebbing and flowing... sauch is a writers love affair with their words.
Lovely post!

I second this. And third it too. I've been in a similar boat lately. Thanks for sharing this :-)
Aw, that was beautiful. Last year I could have written the same letter to writing. And then, in August, we got back together and it was beautiful and passionate and wonderful.
Happy Valentine's Day
Love this. "I haven't been that honest with anyone in awhile."
