The Writing Journey: A Path Both Familiar and Evolving
Blog post description.
Today, as I sit down to write, I can’t help but reflect on how far I've veered from my original path. Not the path, but mine. When I first started writing, I had a clear vision—a singular purpose that drove me forward. Over time, though, that vision has faded, blurred into something unrecognizable. And yet, in its place, it has grown, evolved, just as I have. Writing is a journey of metamorphosis, much like the butterfly’s transformation—constantly changing, sometimes breathtaking, sometimes frustrating. It is joy and fear in equal measure. A love and a sorrow.
Once, my mission was to bring a little-known story to life, to share it with the world. That was my fuel, my passion. But now, I find myself in a vast sea, a minnow, lost as I try to navigate these waters, searching for my muse, my next story. Some parts of my journey cling to me, refusing to be left behind, while others I leave scattered in my wake. Why? Perhaps it’s because I am a lady-in-waiting—a mother-to-be in a sense. Patiently waiting for the birth of something new, something that will rekindle the light of purpose. A story that, in its truth, will resonate with those who read it, bringing them back to something familiar, something they too can hold close.
And so I wait—waiting for that spark, that moment when the words align, and the story flows like it did in the beginning. But I know now that the waiting isn’t passive. It’s part of the process, part of the transformation. In time, the new vision will emerge, clearer than before, and I will embrace it. Until then, I will continue to write, to evolve, to trust that even in uncertainty, I am on my path. And perhaps, that’s all I need to know for now.
