But me — what can I do? Once, these people told me writing was a skill, an art.
I mean, sure it can be. If you go and write the next great American novel. But i highly doubt I will be that screwed up as a person.
Anyway, to all those people ... I envy you. I envy your ability to craft something so outwardly spectacular and be able to share it with others. Some of you take moving photos; some of you can make a person laugh and all of you inspire me. I appreciate my life this past year more than any other year and for that I thank you all.
Then again, maybe this is all simply a "harmless" by-product of me being home and around my parents for too long.

So you're also of the school of thought that authors are born out of tragedy?
I like to write too, dammit! Sometimes I think I may be from a too white and well-to-do family to make a career of it, though. And then sometimes I think maybe that's my key to success.
Who knows?
Glad I found your blog.

What is a movie without a script? usually french, and definitely independent.
What is history without writing? forgotten.
Romeo and Juliet without shakespeare? two emo kids with a suicide pact.
Don't feel you need to be amazing first draft. you are your worst critic.
The hardest part of writing is doing it.
