i must really be a writer

Jun 15, 2014 01:27

because when i'm feeling like shit and i have no one to turn to

i write.

it's shit.

seriously! if i love writing so much, i should not relegate it to this. just a thing i resort to when i can't find any other way to vent my emotions.

no, i should have more respect for the craft.

i have always firmly believed that words hold insurmountable power and that writers have a responsibility to wield that power wisely.

i am not doing anything with this so-called "power". except maybe use it for self-indulgence. ugh.

i should be more disciplined. i really should be.

okay, that settles it!

EVERY DAY, I MUST WRITE.
write for something other than myself... for someone other than myself.

they did say that you have to create things for the people you love and the people you'd love to meet.

i think that's really nice... okay rule #1 as a writer: never use "nice" as an adjective. it doesn't mean anything.

but what i'm trying to say is that it... helps you envision your audiences more. it helps you connect with them more, especially if you hold them in great respect.

ok that's funny. i started this post hoping to vent about my life's frustrations and instead, i started to write about writing.

i feel calmer now.

still a bit depressed though.

but i think... it can be nice to take some time to write just for myself. so maybe i should write for myself every once in a while.
