Need To Start Writing Again

It's certainly been a while since I last posted here.  Last time I believe was May 20th, 2012.  That's over a month ago now that I think about it.  I really need to start writing again, not just here on the blog, but in general.  It's been a while since I just sat down and wrote something like a poem.  Or even since I sat down and decided to work on my book.  Writing brings a bit of calmness to my mind, a kind of peace that is hard for my to find in everyday life.  Painting, art, sometimes music can do it for me too, reading books does it spectacularly.  But, I need to start writing again.  The book I spoke of just a moment ago that I'm writing, I am only about 6-7 pages into it and I have been writing it off and on for about 2 1/2 years.  I have the story line, character profiles, genre(s), plot(s), twists and turns, etc., etc., all of it.  I have it all right here in my head and it hasn't gone anywhere since the day it smacked my upside the head.  Figuratively, of course.  It hasn't faded, drifted or even dwindled in the slightest.  If anything, over time it has grown into an even greater story than I originally thought it could ever become.

So really I need to start writing again, because I've been starting to get more and more ideas for my book as of late and it's driving me to the edge of insanity because I haven't written them down on paper.  Better hurry before my ADHD self becomes completely hyper-focused on just the book.  So much so that I'm unable to eat or sleep.  Ha ha ha.  Just kidding about the eat or sleep thing.
