only_more_loveNot much time to post right now, but I wanted to jot down some thoughts while they were fresh in my mind. I wrote and posted Why I Write: A Personal Statement because I knew there would be moments like this--when I would look at my writing and think:
1. Who the hell am I kidding? I have no idea what I'm doing.
2. It's pedestrian, derivative, boring, and just plain bad.
3. There's so much I have to learn; I don't even know if I'm capable of learning it.
4. What if I just don't have anything meaningful to say?
Sometimes I think I am my own worst enemy.

2. Guh? It's lively, innovative, interesting and just plain brilliant.
3. Pah! Those who can, do; those who can't, teach. You do, very much so. Besides if you close your mind to learning you stagnate. You? Are a waterfall.
4. Bah! (my favourite word of disgruntlement) Don't be silly.
Will check back later for more cheerful blurting.
