Toni is hosting Haibun Mondays at dVerse. She wants us to write about our plans for our writing in a haibun.
Writing is therapeutic for me. It pulls me out of the clutches of darkness where I wander inadvertently when I’m feeling dejected and miserable. Writing is a tool for introspection for me. It helps to justify my existence to self. Writing is a beacon that shows me direction when I drift away from my objective. Writing emerged as an unidentified savior when I was struggling to harness my identified abilities.
I have spent last one year exploring the right side of my brain, in an effort to assure myself that I am a writer too. I now plan to improve my writing skills by working on new poetic forms as well as prose especially fiction. I also plan to bring out an E-book of my selected poems. I wish to start working on my book too, which has been occupying a tiny corner in my brain for a long time. I have enrolled for the Life Coach program that shall, hopefully, assist me in putting my plans to action.
life is a puzzle
learning disguised as failure
game of perception
wow – I recall this post a good example for therapy…
Thanks 🙂
xcellent! Don’t ever feel dejected. It is when we stop writing that we fail.
Yes, writing keeps me going. Thanks. Your prompt actually helped me list my goals 🙂
Thanks Radhika 🙂
when i was desperately hurt i wrote more than ever, but only in my journal so your words resonated so deeply with me, i never wanted it read but just writing it made me feel safe and then the healing began. loved your haibun for its purity and a very mindful haiku for all us
I am glad my words spoke to you. You are right, just writing your feelings makes you feel lighter and better. It happens with me too all the time. Thanks for reflecting back 🙂
I like the phrase “learning disguised as failure”. Best wishes on your coming ebook.
Thanks Frank! Have a great day!
I think writing has helped me more than anything… the only problem is that when I have helped myself enough I have less time to write.
Ha ha..I understand. When healing happens, we refrain from taking medicines 🙂 Thanks Bjorn
“learning disguised as failure” — What a great line! So often we believe the lie that we’ve failed permanently, when in fact we’ve only had a lesson to learn from.
Each attempt adds to our learning and experience. We might fail but we always take away something from it. Thanks for your wonderful words!
Writing, for those of us who are introverts, is a good tool to express all we hold inside. Keep on writing.
Well said! Thanks for your encouragement dear 🙂
