So Many Ideas, So Little Time

Why is it that I love writing prompts, but never take the time to actually write from them? At the beginning of the year I tried to do one writing exercise a day, but that went the way of New Year's Resolutions and I now find myself longing to write, but too busy to even eat. I guess at least that might help with another of my resolutions. Will I ever have time to just write whatever I want? Will I be able to do the thing that so many have said I'm good at and that I should pursue? Is writing what I'm really supposed to do, or should I pick up another creative outlet and put writing aside? How do I use my creative energies when I don't have time to let them go? Will I be able to stop my addiction of buying creative writing helps or will they continue to congregate on my bookshelves, reminding me of my drowned ambitions? Hopefully this blog will let me release some of what I need to let go.
