Untitled

I took several writing classes this summer. For a recent class, I chose "untitled" as my alias. I have been feeling rather sad and ambivalent about my writing for the last few months so "untitled" seemed appropriate. To be honest, I've even thought about giving up on writing all together.


Over the course of the summer, I think I've learned that it isn't so much that I have nothing to say or nothing to write about but that, after all that has happened in the last few months, I have to find a new voice, a new way to say what I need to say. I'm choosing not to give up on writing, at least not yet.


I've decided to plunge a bit more deeply into writing this fall. I'm going to take classes from a couple of teachers I haven't taken classes from before. However, there is a down side. In order to dedicate more time and energy to writing, I will not be able to sing with Seirm this year. I love making music and the experience of making music with other people has been fabulous. But this year, I will have to take a break. I have another voice to find.  I will be in the audience to support my friends as much as I can.
