All in.

I LOVE to write.
 I actually need to do it to process. When stuff gets messy it's the thing that I know for sure will unclutter my brain and bring clarity to whatever is happening. 
But I struggle to write most of the time. 
I do not do it often. 
I'm distracted from it. 
I'm frustrated by it. 
It's not that I avoid the writing itself, Its more of me avoiding the places it comes from. 
The dark places in me. 
The confusion that turns into more clarity with every word I type. 
The fears that loose their power the second I lay them down upon the page. 
The pain that cannot be healed unless it's poured out before Him. 
It's the bravest thing I do because I am putting my heart all over the page as I write. 
What's even more crazy is that I let people read it! 

So I read something today that we are doing as a creative team. 
100 days of being creative. 
Like actually actively creating something or exercising our creativity daily. 
For me, that's writing.... Every... Single... Day. 
I hardly get it together to blog once a month, which is funny because I am writing a blog right now about struggling to write a blog. 
I have at least 5 different half written pieces and even more thoughts about writing pieces. 
As scary as it is, it's also so simple... 
The more you create to more creative you get. 
So I'm in. 
I'm not gonna share everything I write but I am going to write and when I am struggling to write I'm gonna write about that. 
When I thing everything I write is crap, well I'll write about that. 
So I am all in. 
The 100 day creative challenge.
