Talking to Myself

I just started reading Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert and am enjoying it very much. The writer has a voice very similar to my own, so I totally identify with her. One of my favorite parts so far is the journal she uses for arguing with herself. She uses it to work out problems. I loved it when she lost faith in God. Her journal entry went something like...

"I DON'T BELIEVE IN YOU!!!"
'Then why are you talking to me?"

I thought that was so brilliant! It's like meditation in written form. You ask yourself a question and you keep writing until the answer unfolds. I really need to do that. I already keep a journal, but that's mainly for keeping track of events in my life. I think I will use a private blog page for yelling at myself and asking those tough questions that, hopefully, my inner-self will answer.

"WHY HAVEN'T YOU STARTED THOSE CHARACTER STUDIES?!?"
"ARE YOU EVER GOING TO DRAFT THOSE STORIES?!?"
"START FREEWRITING NOW!!!"
"JUST DO IT!!!"

You get the point.

Write on!
