It’s time for the monthly Insecure Writer’s Support Group (#IWSG) day. I originally intended on skipping it this month, because the optional question didn’t speak to me. Then I realized anything goes as long as it’s writing-related thoughts. I don’t want to be kicked off the grid either.
This month has been okay in the writing department. I have been jotting down a lot of thoughts. About two weeks ago, I joined a support group for dissociative identity disorder on Facebook and was reminded in its learning units to journal daily. I haven’t actually been doing so exactly and the private WordPress site I intended for it, has been abandoned once again. However, I did start to write more.
As I said in my other post today, poetry has been on my mind lately. I have had haikus and other syllabic poetry floating through my head, particularly at night. I’m by no means good at it, but I like to practise.
And yet I still feel insecure about my writing on this blog. I mean, I want to write poetry, but am I good enough for it? The answer may be “No,” but that doesn’t matter. I’m not submitting to a publisher or even an open competition. I’m just writing for the fun of it!
How has your writing been?
A Multitude of Musings 
In my mind poetry (like other forms of art) is a very personal thing. One person’s expression and interpretation of it are different to another’s. I don’t think there’s a right or a wrong way to express yourself. I’m sure that someone with more technical knowledge will say differently but those are my thoughts for what they’re worth.

The question is always optional!
The only way to get good at writing poetry is to write it. Just go for it.

There’s a lot to be said about writing for the “fun of it.”
Glad you’re enjoying writing poetry. It’s such a creative outlet for expression.

I explored my personal and professional vocabulary of hatred and resentment and put it up to scrutiny.
And I answered lots of Quora.com questions in the world of phrases and phrase definitions.
Yay! Poetry!
My cousin asked me if I wrote poetry currently.
I think that part of my brain died in 2006-07.
[or perhaps I was too embarrassed/ashamed].
