Writing Letters to the World

I rejoined my writers group last month. For a number of months, I've been feeling a bit of writer burnout, but I decided I had to do something other than sit there and not write.

Lately, I've been writing letters to a friend of mine (not the long-standing penpal). Then, this weekend, I wrote a short story from start to finish pretty much in one sitting. I'm not sure if it was rejoining the group or writing the letters, but I think my block has knocked loose.

Now I'm blogging again, too.

In the grand scheme, I'm feeling lonely and frustrated right now. The good point, though, is isolation and frustration are great for getting words down on the page.
