the way you wish your voice sounds

I began this writing journal over at blogspot but decided to move it over here. The following is the single entry I posted at blogspot:

I can't write anything on my own - forget this stupid stigma I have about my writing seeming stupid and trite and this fear I have about not wanting people I know to see it. It's more that whenever I sit down and try to come up with something, it all sounds like something else I've read or heard. I don't know if I want to write poetry or prose. I want someplace to vent, but I know with what is coming up for me this year, I shouldn't retreat to the internet - it has the potential to become more of crutch than it already is.

Also, this website is confusing as hell. What if you find a blog you like? Can you friend it lj? I need to get the fuck off the internet and write a paper.

Nothing like a little self-deprication and self-doubt about my writing skills to start off my writing journal, huh?

Anyway, I really wanted to move this journal to lj in an attempts to start writing fan fic and sharing. I need to get my first story done and submit it to some communities.

Also, in starting my first story, I realize that I really need a beta. Any takers?

free verse, writing
