I love writing. And if there is one thing I do a lot because of this, it is that I think too much about many things. There is not a day that passes where I don't deeply question something that has occurred during my day. My brain is always full of questions and explanations— people watching sparks character profiles, things that happen to me help me create story ideas and even though my brain runs for the better half of the day, I wouldn't trade it for the world.
I love the way being a writer has influenced the way I look at the world. I like being able to pick out the small things that go on in the world, and I like taking the time out from the busy rush of it all to put everything into perspective and create a sort of calm from it. I enjoy being able to use people and places as motivation and inspiration for my stories, characters and everything in between.
It can be a hassle to always have my mind running, but I wouldn't know what to do with myself if this wasn't the case. It can become stressful at times, over thinking a lot of things that go on in my life, and trying to piece together everything about everyone I know, and this creative thinking almost always expands into every other aspect of my life which isn't always great.
Despite all this, all the time I've spent thinking about seemingly nothing has helped me create some amazing friends. It's helped me to really learn about myself, about my view on the world, and it's helped me to become a better writer. So as long as I keep writing, I'll just have to keep on being a creative thinker as well.
