At a recent job interview, I was asked if I'm still writing. I was caught off guard. Did she want specifics? I answered honestly.....yes, I'm still writing. I'm writing grocery lists. I'm writing e-mails. Sometimes, I'm copying recipes that I think my husband and I might enjoy someday. It was all legitimate.
I was feeling uncomfortable and defeated. I wasn't writing like I used to, and the interviewer uncovered something about me that I had pushed to the darkest recesses of my mind. It was then that I began to brainstorm about my next writing endeavor, and so, here we begin.
Beginning something new, I like to have a game plan. I like to know what the end result will be before I even start. I am a self-proclaimed perfectionist. Don't they say that the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem?
Recovering from perfectionism doesn't really sound plausible to me, but we're not here to talk about psychology. We're here to talk about the things I like to do and how I do them. Usually I would tell you that my hobby is crafting, but more recently, I would just tell you that my hobby is trying new things.
I would also like my hobby to be commiting to blog posts. So we'll see what happens.
