I've done a lot of writing lately, though not on my blog. It helps me relax and unwind, escape when I need to, channel my emotions into something else when they are too many or too big for me to get a grip on in this world. Writing takes me to new places and helps me gain perspective. If you don't write, I highly recommend it. It can be very therapeutic. And I find that a lot of self-discovery happens when pen is put to paper... or fingers to keyboard, whatever you may choose. Life is a highway... write about it. Recently, I've been working on my WIP (the novel that still isn't finished), and on revamping a short story I wrote a few years ago (with the intent to submit it for publication), and on a new short story (which is turning into a much more in depth story... I should know better, I am very wordy) and poetry. I love poetry. It's a way (for me) to use imagery to express my emotions. Sometimes my poetry can be quite dark and creep...
