How are you my dear readers? I just want to say thank you for supporting and reading this poetry blog. I also want to wish you a greater year ahead. :)
I'm also here to say that I'm taking a poetry hiatus. I tried to keep up with the daily poetry but unfortunately couldn't make it. I thought it would be easier because of the winter break. I was wrong.
This is because I've taken on to writing stories for a bigger personal project. I realize, too, that no matter how much I love writing, I could only write so much in a day. I wish writing was the only thing I would get to do every hour of every day. But as you and I both know, there's that little thing we just cannot ignore: life.
I'll be back to writing in metre hopefully very soon. I would always love poetry.
So before I sign off, let me leave you with this quote from my most favourite author, Neil Gaiman.
"May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art -- write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself."
The word "create" is inherent in "creature." It is in all of us to create whatever we want. We'll be doing ourselves a favour when we create something, anything. It's a manifestation of our existence. So do it.
Have a wonderful year all of you beautiful creatures,
jln.
