Visitations
A rather paranormal experience about how I got back into writing again.
In late 2006, the same thing occurred. The figure poked me in the back. This time I was amazed, but not as afraid. He asked me again if I was ready.
I said, will you please tell me what I am supposed to be ready for? He said I was not ready and disappeared again.
He finally returned in early August of 2008. The familiar poke in the back did not frighten me. He asked me again if I was ready. This time I knew what he meant. I asked him who he was. He said, I am you and you are ready.
The next morning, I felt an uncontrollable urge to start writing again. I started slowly, threw a few bad pieces away, until I felt I was again capable of writing something meaningful. I searched and searched the internet until I found Triond. I decided to join and start submitting my work. Much to my surprise, I began to get published. I cannot stop writing now. I write every day and I cannot seem to write enough. I would wake up at exactly 3:10 every morning with something creative in my head. Some days I remembered every word and some days I forgot what I had been thinking. I bought a digital mini voice-activated recorder and kept it beside my bed. Now, whenever I wake up, I record what has come to me. I have found that I use it quite often. I use it whenever something pops into my head and it has become an invaluable tool. Now I am writing endlessly and it feels so cathartic. It feels like a blessing from God. That is my story. I would swear to this being true in a court of law. It just goes to show you, you never know what will happen in life.

the thrill of reading about your experiences was uplifting. I too keep pen and paper at my bedside so if words come to me I leave them not to chance in the morning when I might have forgotten them.
Thank you for posting your road back to writing. I enjoy your submissions.

Will, oh my gosh…I got chills twice while reading your story. When I have a thought I will call my voice mail at work, I don’t know why at work and not at home, but it works.
Welcome back to your rise in writing.

Amazing story. Sometimes it takes the most mysterious of signs to give us a bit of a push. Great piece.

Incredible… I believe you because a person I knew who was completely honest and true saw a ghost as well. The world is a better place and will continue to be because you are sharing your writing dreams.
Blessings.
