Finding My Writing Purpose.

Writing every day for the past month has been quite the adventure. Since I write everyday, you'd think i'd have more blog posts done, but nope I don't. I have no real reason why other than i am the Laziest human I know, and I'm best friends with this chick procrastination.

All of the paper I have used to
write this past month

One prompt (located in chapter Two) of the few that really stumped me, was my writing purpose. I put of this one for a few days because I was just so stumped. What was my purpose? Why did I want to write? I, being a high school girl, did not have a purpose to do with a career of any sort. My purpose was to make myself happy. Though I did have about 2 1/2 existential crises before I came to this point, my final purpose made a lot of sense.

There was another part to this prompt "Write... about your target identity... Describe your perfect writing life." Now this cause another small crisis, because I normally do not center my life around my writing, as crazy as this may seem, I do in fact, have a life. It required much thought, but I decided my perfect writing life, was when my writing would begin to make, not only myself, but others, happy.

I really don't know...

In this chapter it also asks lots of big questions, like is the goal achievable, is it worth it, and do we believe in ourselves. I have yet to answer if I believe in myself, so stay tuned to see how high (or low... most likely low) my confidence is.

Though this may be something seemingly crazy, like the rest of my life choices, writing every day is something I really want to do.

Do you believe in yourself? Do you have a purpose; in whatever you want to do?
