now that it's all clear

Well, everybody that I know is basically done doing the livejournal thing. I stopped for a long time because I got to personal on here. Now, I realize nobody is going to read this crap. So, I'm typing again. In general I just want to type though. I miss the days of having to write pointless papers and the feeling of accomplishment when those papers are finished. It's good to see words being created on a page. You can see the past and the future all on one screen in this case: what you have typed and the blank white below and in front of it. Writing feels a lot like running a race, start and hope that you finish with the correct intensity. Somebody said to me recently that the best way to become a writer is just to write all of the time. I'm not totally sure if that applies here, or even if that's true, but it can't hurt. I'm not even sure what I want to be a writer of. I'm in theatre, so I've always thought about playwriting, but at the same time, I see shows as live performances, and I might want to be a novel writer, which I think makes more sense for a performer who spends their time doing character studies. And then there is subject matter of course. It's hard to choose what to write about. Maybe something fantastic and out of this world, but even that is typically an anology for something close to home. Do I write politically?...don't feel I know enough for that (honestly I don't feel I know enough in general). I've thought about basing my writing on my own personal experiences, but honestly, I'm 24 and my great accomplishments have all been taking part in what others wrote, I'm otherwise a simple guy. I guess my sex life has always been interesting enough, but, always kind of depresses me, and there are enough people who know about that part of my life (I have an inclination for storytelling). Maybe an out there fiction which is an anology to my sex life?....haha..."Beauty and the Beast"...I think other peoples personal live's are horrible enough, that they don't need to read mine. Maybe something some day though...something will come to mind...I'll write it down, hopefully all of it. Until then, I'll just type incoherrently, sounds good enough to me.
