A Craving...

So I was thinking back to the weekend I went to Ottawa. That Saturday was just a downpour, regardless Steph and I decided we weren't going to let that day go to waste. We got soaked walking along the market and later ventured into a Chapters to dry off. We ended up spending a few hours there, it's the first time such quality time looking through books. I've normally gone into Chapters in search of something specific and it was in and out for the most part. I picked up a book that mom was on me to buy and another book that mom also wanted me to read but I had kept saying no, then one of the profs I work with suggested I read it (lol I guess it's a book I was meant to read - I'm enjoying it what I have read thus far). I ended up getting 3 books (3rd one took me forever to pick lol).

After leaving Chapters, I just couldn't shake this feeling I had, this urge... We walked towards Parliment in the rain, the streets were coated with a layer of water (it was raining that much). One of the coolest things was standing on the steps of Parliment and looking up at the building. Because the lighting on the building, the drops falling from it look amazing. The way they looked was indescrivable...It was a beautiful experience.

While we were walking, I was consumed by this overwhelming craving to write. It's been a long time since I've sat down to write, I mean really write. I have a bunch of stories that I started and never completed, and I have been craving to finish them. I still write poems from time to time which helps (blogging has helped too) but tonight (and that night) I yearn to write creatively, create characters, plot lines, a world where ppl can sit and read my stories can just sink away and forget their troubles (sounds cheesy...I know lol but it's a passion of mine). So I crave the day when I can sit and write and get ones of those stories going. For now this will do...

Here's to later thoughts... and the creation of new stories.
