Journal #25

September 24, 2020 by Deanna Repose Oaks

I’m keeping up with my writing goals!!! I tried to get back to writing poems, but for some reason, I am not feeling it. I haven’t written poetry in such a long time. But, I am still writing.

I want to blame COVID for my lack of poetry, but it is being blamed for everything in this world, I’m giving it a break. I feel there is just too much chaos in the world for me to be able to decipher and make happiness out of what I am seeing/feeling. Even revisiting media of “simpler times” (read: 80’s movies) makes me nervous and anxious – the world is no longer as it was, and never will be again. Sadness abounds. Hard to write about love when I am so sad.

Yes, writing. I just submitted a piece to a publisher. Not sure where it will go, but it gives me something to look forward to. And, it gave my writing somewhere to go once it was done. It was a happy piece, so difficult to write in these chaotic times. That took a lot out of me.

Looking forward to next week!
