I wish I were a good writer. A novelist, a poet, a songwriter....anything. I quite often have difficulty expressing myself through writing, although at times its the only way I can get my feelings out. I'm usually a verbal processor, but when I don't have people to talk to, I write. I often feel neglected on Xanga...with a lack of comments...but then I realize that this writing is for me, not you. Not to say that I don't appreciate my loyal readers, but I should ensure that I write for me, and not for anyone else. Anyways, I just had to get that out.
Eventually I'll feel inspired to write again.

:) Thanks, I needed to hear that. While I love to write and can easily express myself through written word, you are right in the fact that sometimes writing should not be for an audience, but more personal. I was beginning to see a change in my writing style from personal to more for an audience. So thanks for sharing your perspective on your own writing as it made me look at mine! :)
I know what you mean. Sometimes I write on here and think "what's the point, no one reads this" so I stop writing for a while. I always come back though, because really this is important for me. I need an outlet!
