Reflections on New York City

Visiting New York was a surreal experience. It has been 7 months since I last visited that place and there is an urging desire in me to visit again. There seems to be something waiting for me there, something that I have not uncovered. Something that is waiting to be opened; like a Pandora box.

I feel there is something missing, something that I did not pick up from that place when I last visited. Maybe 2 weeks was too short, maybe 3 months would be more appropriate. Maybe it was the manuscript that I did not leave at the writer’s house doorstep because the ending is not complete. Maybe it is my self esteem and lack of confidence. Maybe I was not fully ready.

Maybe it is the new storyline sitting on my lap that I have not developed for over a year. Maybe this is the one that will change my career direction, or my life for good. I know I have a compelling story but why am I not writing? Yes, I can blame it on everything else but it all comes down to the actual act of writing.

Maybe it is just me.

And I do want to visit New York again.

I do foresee myself there again, this time, more prepared.
