I love writing, and have since the age of 12, when I learned I could move someone with my pen. Figuratively of course. Well, I'm a long way away from 12, and I find myself out of practice, and out of sorts.
I still love writing, but we all know it's for sadists at times. I mean, come on. Removing your favorite idea because it doesn't fit, never being completely satisfied with your work, and coming back for more because you need to. "Bludgeon and cut me again, and block my brain while you’re at it. Now, everything be terrible and MAKE ME start over, oh yes… No, Idaho! Idaho!" And yet, that's the least of it for me Not only am I struggling with things like comma placement, but I can't proof-read my own writing over the sound of my own voice! Anyone else going through this? It's like someone who can't listen because they already know what you're going to say. Shut up, self!!! I can't tell if this flows if you keep shouting like that!
So, after reviewing my rather rough posts today, I have decided to place a one week time requirement before clicking publish. It’s my duty to ensure that you can hear the loud voice that interrupts me constantly, over the one that I am using to interrupt you. Splendid.
Anyone have thoughts? Suggestions?
Yours Truly,
Alice
