Writing as Play

Today, my BDJ Spark Your Magic workbook presented me with this journaling prompt:

“Think back to playtime when you were younger. What did you love playing with? A toy? A game? A book? Write about this childhood experience. Feel that moment again.”

When I was younger, I pretended that I was a writer. I would write and draw on my journals about my day. I enjoyed chronicling my happenings even at such a young age. This is evident in my blog www.speakoutsam.com, where I still enjoy sharing my activities. No wonder blogging feels just like playing for me!

I enjoy blogging primarily for myself. I am my own audience. While I also enjoy featuring brands and artists that I resonate with, I still primarily blog to inspire myself everyday. I would say that this is like keeping the child in me alive.
