The Need to Express, to Communicate

Now that I don't take Creative Writing anymore, I am finding itt harder to motivate myslf to write. I do want to continue writing fiction as I don't want my skills to get rusty, but now that there is no need to rush I fear that I am becoming a lazy writer. There is no need to get a story down as now the time is limitless, I do not only have one cycle to finish a story. Now I could end up like Ms Eaton, whose worked on a book foryears. Or, God forbid, like Muir, who has never written anything and just aas a dream to become a published author someday. I need due dates, which Ms Eaton jokingly said she'd give me, since she noticed the joy I found in writing for her class. I will continue and have a good idea for my next story, I just do not know where to begin, or why I'm writing it. I no longer have an audience, though it was just an audience of one, maybe at most three, it was still an audience. I do not want my writing to sit on my hard drive as writers write because they are vain and want to share their "babies" with many. I want to continue, but fear it isn't worth it... I may just start emailing my stories to Ms. Wortman and never get a response. I'm atill waiting for a response to my "happy nondenominational holiday season" email.
