Writing

I am fairly verbose. Okay, I am positively talkative, sometimes even chatty. So why am I not able to write at length? I have written a lot of things. I wrote two plays while I was in high school. I took writing for the theater in college and, from all indications was very good at it. So what happened in the last 17 years to make me decide that what I have to write isn't worth reading? Or is it even that? Have I been so obsessed with so many other things that writing has just taken a back seat to finding the next gig, the next lighting project, the next acting gig. The same could be said for my reading. I used to read voraciously. I would run through fiction like a banshee. I would read through reference books and memorize small facts to impress my friends.
I think that writing and reading are habits. Habits you can get into if you decide it is something that is important to you. Habits that require support of money and time, but the time is something you have to make. Something you have to carve out of your everyday life. It also means that you have to not do other things that also take up time. So I'm trying to get back into the habit. I have made reading a necessity for work. I have made writing a commitment for the year. I'm not sure how well this will go, but I am determined to make both back into habits and maintain them.

Oh, and I joined the Heart of Kentucky Men's chorus. I will be singing baritone.
