I have not been writing to you, but I have been writing. Every morning for the past couple of months, I open a medium-sized journal bound in yellow faux-leather. I write with a dull pencil most days, because that’s what’s tucked into the elastic band that holds the journal closed. The writing sometimes happens before my feet have touched the carpet, so the writing implement closest at hand is what gets used. The path of least resistance.
What a wonderful message, Marissa! Thank you for sharing it.
I have much in common with you... I also grew up wanting to be an actor, and I was pretty good at it! But I gave it up because I realized that a woman who looks the way I look wouldn't get far in the profession. I ended up a writer, too, which is probably a better fit for me.
I did get back into acting (via my local community theater) for the first time right before the pandemic hit, and I really enjoyed it. Now that the pandemic is as far behind us as it will ever be, I should open my gift and get back into it. Thanks for the reminder.
