Autumn Again

Neglected my blog for way too long. Am I back? Hope so.

Chilly breeze sends the autumn leaves dancing outside my window as I wonder if anyone will notice that I finally post here again. Sure I have many excuses. Life gets in the way. Yet did I lose the magic of writing?

Elusive words escape me. As autumn torches the leaves and memories of summer escape, I struggle to reconnect with the world. It’s simpler to cocoon and shut out all else. Even writing.

I feel embarrassed, guilty & sad when others ask, “What are you writing now? A novel sequel? A new poem? More articles?”

My heart hurts as I reply, “Nothing. Not writing anymore.”

If you hear a rustle through the leaves, beware. Might be me reemerging.
