It is hard to balance passions, such as writing and swimming. I know what you mean about writing prompts...sometimes the writing you are required to do for Language Arts doesn't inspire you to write. All I can say is, keep your eyes and mind open. When something really moves you, when you are feeling either extremely joyful or horribly sad, try to write those experiences. Use your pencil (or pen or computer) to express things that are truly meaningful to you whenever you do have the chance. Best wishes, Mary Amato Wow, Abie,

And your challenging and encouraging words at the end of the post certainly ring true. Taking those few first steps, having those conversations, learning more, etc., can certainly fuel a passion for writing. It sure did in my case! Thank you so much for the shoutout, Mary!
