Use Caution.

I haven't written in a while and I need to stop that.  I really need to just set a word goal and write!

So anyway, I wanted to write about something I've happened upon recently. A couple days ago I had read one of those 'creepypasta' short stories on pinterest. It involved haunting faces in the windows and a pretty terrifying picture to accompany it. That night I couldn't sleep, at all. 

My side of the bed that I share with my younger sister is facing the two windows facing the outside. The story was still fresh in my mind. I tossed and turned, menacing, gaunt features with black irises kept popping into my imagination. You might think me young and childish but yes, I was scared. This probably went on until one in the morning or so before I could stand it no longer. 

I ended up going to my mother and telling her my trouble. She soothed and let me turn the hallway light on to shine through my open bedroom door as I put music on to take my mind away. After talking it out and getting reassurance from my mom I was able to quickly fall asleep. 

When I had first read the story, I had no idea it would plague my thoughts as it did. And as I figured out it was a horror, I still had time to turn away and look at something else. But honestly, I was thinking 'oh you're old enough to handle it, you'll be fine.' And after finishing it I thought it very cool, interesting and well-written! But as the darkness fell into my room later that night, the story tried to come to life. 

I'm more cautious of what I look at and read on the Internet now, for I know that one glance can stay in my subconscious. So, all in all, I learned a lesson that I thought I would share.

Guess what.

Just a quick little thing to share,.. I'm an aunt!

Yup, my sister had her baby in January, then my brother's son came February 8th.
I'm pretty happy and I hope you're feeling good today too.

I love to write. One reason why I wanted to start a blog, hoping I would be able to sit down and write more. Heh, but starting this, I'm not feeling the inspiration I usually have. Why am I doing this then? Because I need to post something that's why! Here's a quote I like but I'm going to tweak it a little to suit my needs at the moment. 

'Some letters make a word.
Some words make a sentence. 
Some sentences make a page,
And for me a page is a post!'

And its true. But finding a subject to write about is not always easy. Usually for me its usually whatever I have in my head at the moment I try and put it down on paper. But of course, what do you write when your mind is blank? Well, you can do what I'm doing right now, writing about how you have nothing to write! Here, check this poem I wrote earlier this year about this such problem. 

 I Lost by Emily B. 

I am sitting here, having a stare down. 
Yes, the paper is winning. 
For there is no writing inspiration to be found.

I have this pencil tight in my grip, 
In my head its evilly grinning. 
Every word I try to write seems to slip. 

My fingers twitch with frustration, 
My nerves feel my pain.
I don't think I'm ready for this confrontation.

My mind searches for an idea, something. 
My conscience wonders if I am sane.
At this point I'll settle for any one thing. 

This might amuse you, reader, but I'm having a difficulty.
This never happens to me, the poet!
My creativity has come to be faulty. 

Writers' block can happen to anyone, I know this. 
Well, everyone tells me but so what?
For me writing is always bliss.

But now, I'm sorry to say, I quit. 
I can't do this at all.
I must turn away and for the first time, forfeit. 

I shy from my desk, I admit defeat. 
I walk away probably looking pitiful.
Sometimes the life of a poets' the hardest you'll ever meet.  

Okay, be honest, how was it? And look, what did I tell you? I got a page full of words, sentences and paragraphs! A post!
