was it really me?

Uhm...

I took a glimpse into my long-abandoned WIP. I found it interesting and started asking myself: was it really me who wrote these lines?
Perhaps I should be waiting for an inspiration.
The drive to finish it is here all right, and I've got a few ideas, too - but I don't feel I can write up to the standards of those lines, paragraphs and even pages. It's not that I feel I wrote something extra-special and outstanding.... I did not.
I simply like what I read.
And now I'm further away from composing a sentence or two.
Perhaps I should blame it on the long interval of non-writing...
*sighs*

I find that when I'm away from writing for a while I really do get rusty. But it comes back.

Yeah, I hope to get off the rust and dust off my writing self, Charles. Thanks for the encouragement.

Go ahead and write. Sometimes the words themselves proffer inspiration.

I do hope so, Bernita.

I know I need time to re-gain the habit of writing...
