Can’t get going on clumsy today. The good thing is that I am writing anyway. About 7 years ago my journals got stolen in a house break-in. It’s a very long story with karmic implications that I won’t go into here. But essentially my life’s work, 20 years worth, was taken, right out of my closet. I had them in a duffel bag, my reasoning being that if my house ever caught on fire and I had to get out quick, I would grab the bag and go because that would be the only thing I would want to save. Ironic, right?
The result of The Theft stopped me in my tracks. I didn’t write a thing for over 6 years. Think about that. I wrote practically every day for 20 years then nothing. Not. A. Thing. I remember the night it happened, of course I always will. As I was hunched over the toilet thinking I was going to be sick, I just let them go. “They’re gone” I said to myself. “They are gone and you are never going to see them again.” So, I let them go. I buried the pain that I didn’t want to feel, then I stopped writing. It’s been a long journey back but the important thing is that I’m back! Thanks for reading.

Wonderful that your back! When you lose something that dear to your heart, it would indeed be tragic.

Wasn’t completely sure you wrote about you or it was a story. Either way, it was well written, and I look forward to seeing more of your prose. It was indeed a struggle to get through such a loss since I imagine you poured your heart out into your work.
