i used to use LJ for everything, the words just pour out this way. i never worried about capitalization, but always punctuation. i never worried about spelling, but now i will, after i reread all those entries in which i didn't. i can't find my short story. and i mean "my short story" for i only have one good one and it is the one i was looking for last night. i've been in a shit ton of writing classes and my first and only short story will always be my best. i've still never learned to edit.
i always used to write in big blocks of text. now i guess i paragraph.
by "same person with same problems" i mean angst-ridden bad student. i've ALWAYS turned in papers late. i always missed school to write them. i always did well. i never tried. i think i'd be worse if i tried, but honestly i don't even know how to try. i always thought i was meant to be a student. i still do. i've never liked it. but i feel responsibility for my smarts. i do not try. i used to succeed. so, i thought i was good at it. i think i'll never be happier than when i am out of the school system. i'm still considering an MFA. i need to get myself out of the school system.
i will write a poem now: let's try.
