Creating is exactly what I want to do, but maybe it isn’t the writing that I want to create. It’s a new chapter in my life that I want to create.  I just don’t know how to start. I do job searches and I wonder what city I should enter. I look up all these articles about places to start a new life for a single female in 40s, but I get all this crap about finding a man. That’s not my main concern. I want to find me, a new me. Relationships are fine but I have learned to navigate life without them.  I have all this excitement inside of me for something different and new. Why can’t I figure out what it is??

I started out writing poems and have always written in a journal. I spent a week in LA at a screenwriting class and really liked the format. I have some half written screenplays.  I also have a lot of beginnings of novels, mostly about my life and my father’s life. I just can’t seem to take the time to finish any of my writing. It’s very hard to do and still maintain a full time job and a life.

When I say I’ve never met a stranger, I mean I’m very outgoing. I can talk to anyone. I’m one of those people that sits beside you on a plane and delves right into conversation before take off.

Thank you for your reply. I would love to hear any ideas you might have.
