Queer Girl's Ink - Jordan

I tried to write a post a couple of weeks ago…while I was writing the last sentence my mouse magically highlighted the whole text and deleted it. I figured it wasn’t meant to be.

So, I’m trying again.

A lot has happened since I last wrote a post. I think thats whats been deterring me from writing. I’ve also been suffering from a major writers block. For some reason, I’m not in a self-expressive mood. I’ll explain…writing, or poetry has always been the only thing i did for myself, it was the only thing i did with no strings attached. However, in college I started writing for claps, slam titles, and scores…it took away whatever made writing so valuable to me. I needed a break.  I dont know what the excuse is this time.

I’ve changed jobs, I’m currently working with the Middle Eastern LGBT community in a more heads-on approach. Its pretty awesome, its what I’ve always wanted to do.

That said, I might be switching jobs again. Not because I dont like my current job or i like job hopping, but i think i got a good opportunity that may not repeat itself again, so i might go along with it and see what happens. Sadly, I cant give more information about that, for the purpose of protecting my anonymity.

Beginning of May, I’m thinking of doing the 30 poems in 30 days challenge. It might be a cure to my writer’s block. I should officially announce it in the coming week.

I do have a lot to write about, but i think I want to do it in poem form.
