Empowerment
Lately, I've been attempting to do some writing. I do all sorts of writing, for all those that don't know me that well, none of it can be considered non-fiction, per se. If I'm writing something philosophical, it's based on my own opinions and what I've learned and observed in everything I do as far back as I can remember. Everything else is prose fiction. I work on whatever story sticks in my head, and every single one of my stories (at least, that I can remember very clearly) began with either an inspiration for a character or a line that repeats itself in my mind for unknown reason.
There is a third type of writing that I do, and you're reading it right now. All zero of you.
It's a sort of thing that I call a brain-dump. It's used when my mind is buzzing with information, and I don't really feel like bugging somebody in a conversation, or that nobody could or should be bothered at the time, or nobody I can find are quite competent enough to really be of much use.
So, let me bring you back to the point of this thing. I'm a writer, a writer writes, and lately, I've been frustrated in my writing. There's a few things that I need to be able to get the ideas to do... whatever writing suits my fancy.
I need to:
A second occupation that I think would benefit me in nearly every single way is journalism. To go forth and acquire vast amounts of information and utilize it into writing, thereby fulfilling the first condition. The second condition is easy, and if I'm a journalist, the third simply comes with the territory. The fourth condition comes on it's own or it doesn't. I could easily create this condition myself, but I don't really like the idea; it feels fake.
The greatest weakness I have ever encountered is myself, without question. What I wish the most is... shit... I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but I need help. Someone that believes in something beyond me, and will push me. Though, I guess that sort of thing is left up to the fates, in my case. They show themselves or they don't. Well, I'm not completely helpless on my own, I'm pretty certain I can do whatever I wish on my own steam.

I need to:
- Be exposed to new ideas on a near-constant basis.
- I must be at peace. I must not see nor hear the world around me. I am easily distracted.
- I should have someone to talk with about my projects. It gets me to write even more about it.
- Last, but by some strange, morbid twist of fate, the most important; I must be depressed. My God, the Doc was right; without angst, there is no art.
