Introduction, huh? Here goes nothing...

I'm Robyn. I used to write back in high school as a release. It was something that had taken me to a new world and new life that I got so completely engrossed in, that frankly, I think I burned myself out. Over the past three years, without my writing, I felt I have grown tremendously, but at the same time, I still feel, after these past three years, that something is missing. Something so big that I feel like right now is the time to get it back. I think I need help tho. I have no idea how to get started and what to do and what to use and so on and so forth. It's like, "Okay Robyn, you want to write, then write!" and all these random, contridicting ideas flood my mind and I can't just choose one, because somewhere around the... oh I dont' know... third line, another idea says "Hey, use me! I better, I'll take you further!"

Is this normal? or do I need to find the nearest insane asylum?

Oh yeah, by the way... I think that's my introduction.

Yes, that's perfectly normal, and yes, you probably need an insane asylum close by. We all do.

Hopefully you'll find the help you need here.

Welcome to the team.

Hey Robyn,

Welcome!

I am sure you will not escape your true self so easily. A writer writes. It's as simple as that. How you manage your time and juggle the issues of life - well, that's almost a totally different ballgame.....

You will trully enjoy yourself here. And I am glad that you have chosen to get back to something you love doing.

I'll leave you to it then,
Ricky

Dear Robyn,

I can really relate to what you are saying here. I did this with writing and with acting and singing.

I picked up writing first, and I think it has really provided me a pathway to EVERYTHING else.

Have you read Julia Cameron or Natalie Goldberg? These two authors did so much for me as a writer and human being - my life has changed drastically since incorporating simple writing practices into my life... and I know now I will never "give up" writing for ANYTHING ever again.....

Ofcourse, writing is how I make part of my living now - and interesting that is living as in profession and also living as in breath.....

Thank you, Robyn - for that "A-ha!"

With Passionate Gratitude,

Julie Jordan Scott
