I'm BACK, Baby!

After many months away, I'm back, baby...

And I'm ready to do more than just blog.

This past year I took some much needed time to figure out what it was I really wanted.  I spent time relaxing, spent time with my husband, hanging out and reconnecting, and spent time doing something other than writing.

What?! you say?  I know!

I didn't worry about writing for several months.  And strangely enough, I think I'm a better writer and artist for it.  I burned out.

One of my main problems, and also main strengths, is that when I believe in something, I go full out.  I go balls-to-the-walls crazy trying to make it happen.  That's what happened with my writing:  I was so focused on where I wanted to end up, I wasn't paying attention to the moments I was letting pass me by.  I stressed myself out to the point where it wasn't fun anymore.

And isn't that the whole point?  Don't writers write because they love it?

Since I didn't love it anymore, I took a break.  I painted, I sculpted, I watched TV... and most importantly, I learned to cut myself some slack.

I've come to a lot of realizations this year, and have actually made an exciting decision ;).  More on that as the week progresses, but I wanted to check in now and say that I, Becca Knight, am BACK.

I love blogging, I love writing, and I'm ready to do it all over again.  This time, with balance.


Let me ask you:  how have YOU been, readers?  :)  It's good to be back!
