I remember when I was in Elementary School and I was learning to write the alphabet.  I was learning to write in cursive and I loved it.  I thought it was so cool.  To this day I still love to write in cursive.  To be honest I would love to go back and write in cursive like the way I learned in elementary school.  I feel like that is my "own" way of writing on paper (nobody else’s but my own)~ I would practice and practice and I loved doing it.  Today when I write in cursive I feel somewhat of a conflict, as though I've taken on different ways of writing, maybe trying to mimic someone else's.  There is a part of me that wants to recapture this magical part of myself again.  I ask the question what can I do with this cursive writing, how can I be creative with it?  I'm still wondering about this.  Maybe I need to write more; maybe it's showing me to uncover more of myself, my authentic self.  I guess that is why I'm doing this at this time.  Discovering parts of myself that I need to express, parts of myself that want to come out of the closet.

I've always held the belief in the back of my head that I cannot write.  In High School I could never write compositions.  I had a difficult time putting down in words what I wanted to say.  I always admired others who could be very imaginative with their thoughts and put things so beautifully together on paper.  This has never left me, and I feel it is something deep down that I have always wanted to accomplish!  I am now 47 years old and here I am pursing this dream.  I don't know exactly where it will take me.  I do know that I am interested in screenplay writing.  I'm not exactly sure what that means entirely.  To me it means coming up with characters and life’s dramas, stepping back and coming up with resolutions and awareness.  I miss writing on paper because I love to write in cursive!  I do notice as I write and continue to write I become more clear, "and that my friend is very good indeed".
