I wanted to write again, it crept into my subconscious and stuck-- That ridiculous, creative desire. Oh, how I love it and how I hate it
( Read more... )
I think everyone hates what they have written. I know there are few things which I have written that I can actually say I am happy with most of the time. Usually the writer themselves can see the flaws a lot more clearly than those reading it.
Some moods do cause people to write more...or at least differently. I know I can't write poetry unless I am sad. For some reason nothing else ust moves my mind through those words. If the mood isn't right I can force the words, but they always seem to come out flat.
I wish I had an answer to make things make more sense. Everything you wrote sounds nice and poetic, wish I could come up with something with half the eloquence as a response.
ON THE WRITER'S ANGST: Thank-you. I know, to a degree, the self-hating writers are often geniuses... I don't think that I am a genius, but there are times I genuinely like what I have written, and times when I am genuinely embarrassed by it. I think the biggest thing about being back in the fandom swing is the burning desire for recognition. Perhaps that issue transcends fandom, actually. LOL. I can write for myself, for my own drive, and I do, mostly, but at the same time be secretly dying for a bit of recognition. Praise is an addictive motivator; fandom is filled with praise junkies
