Name: Crazy Bitch
Home: Portland, Oregon, United States
About Me: I've always enjoyed writing, so long as it's something I know about - like me. I'm a student. A mother. A sister. A homeowner. A perfectionist. I try to keep them as separate as possible, but sometimes they intertwine - which is NEVER a good thing. I love shoes. I love dancing, although I don't really know how. I love loud music, bonfires and the occasional glass of beer. I love my family. I love my life. And ever so slowly, I'm learning to love myself.

I think I know why I can't keep myself writing - I do not find myself interesting. My writing is very black and white and I can't imagine anyone wanting to read it. I have been trying to write about interesting things, but find myself leaving out many details, because it would take me ALL DAY to write them all down. I always feel rushed and afraid of forgetting things before my pen gets to it. I am also noticing that all of my sentences start with "I". Am I obsessing with myself?
It does seem to be faster to type my thoughts, rather than do it the old fashioned way. I have a fear of actually typing something brilliant and the file will end up corrupt or get lost, but I am finally over my concern of other people reading what I write. Just don't write/type anything that is meant for your own mind. I learned this early on in life and wish everyone else knew this too. Less garbage for me to think about.
When reading other weblogs, I've discovered certain people can write about nothing at all and still sound interesting. How do they do it? Is it in the vocabulary? My goal of learning better vocabulary is pending. So far I've had a three week vacation from "vocabulary school" which, I might add, I started three days prior. The words just seem so preposterous - I'll never use them in everyday writing, and probably not see them while reading either. I know I should not give up so easily. I tend to not finish anything I start. Why? One word. Boredom. |
