Aspire to Write

My first writing exercise which i have been postponing.  I have been planning to enroll in a creative writing class but can't find time to do it or don't have the motivation to do it.  Out of boredom because of my long vacation i take off with my first writing journey today in this time of Corona Virus crisis.  oh what a great motivation Covid 19 is.  While waiting for the TV show that I am about to . watch, I accidentally  came across from my book collection a book on creative writing.  I  bought this books a long time ago and almost forgotten about it.  I really love  write my thoughts in my journal.  I write about my accomplishments of the day, happiness and heartaches and frustrations and reflections and realizations.  sometimes i am lazy to do it and the thoughts slip out of my mind as the day passed.  I would think that do I need an inspiration to be able to do it?  What kind of pushing do I need to be able to do it? Writing for me need not to be structured but spontaneous what comes to your mind, and the pen will do it all.  Gone are the days when letter writing still consider as a means of communication.  the art has vanished because of the technology, the email has replaced it.  I can still recall when we used to receive letters from our mother who is in the city, while we are seas away from her.  Even if the mail arrives a week later we patiently wait for it.  My grandfather who is an eloquent writer and speaker is my idol in writing.  He has a regular contributor of a weekly magazine The Free Press.  He also writes poems.  I have also read his love letters to my grandma, how powerful and expressive of his feelings for her.  Writing is an expression of oneself, an expression of our thoughts and ideas, feelings and emotion.  It is also a gift for not all can write well.   i have this passion to write because i want to inspire others and share the knowledge that i have.
