"but i know for a fact that none of it's good."

why do people always say that about their own stuff? usually even in a whole lot of junk, there are pearls. my guy just threw out a couple weeks worth of writing b/c it didn't start right. made me want to slap him again, lol, kidding of course.

someone told me the other day, that sometimes we think we can't write when we're in the middle of the shit, but sometimes it's the best way to process. i think i am gonna work on doing some of that. i had one crazy winter. don't want to forget it, you know?

so maybe even if it doesn't start or come out right, or how you think it should, keep at it anyway. sometimes it helps clear the gunk from your mind. sometimes it helps you remember. i remember i had a REALLY awful winter a couple years back, my first on the island, a lot of emotional issues and soem heartbreak to deal with, and it was fucking HARD. by the time spring came around, i just remember thinking how glad i was that i had stayed here and gone through all that, and that it was over, lol. sometimes the details will be helpful later on. so i say keep on writing as much "bad" stuff as you can, and look back at it later, and find the gems.

Thanks, Chrys. I really do enjoy writing and I wish I was better at it. It really does help to write these feelings down and I know that even though they're not good (technically speaking), all the stuff that I write is from the heart, which I think is more important than writing beautifully but with no heart at all. At least I am not afraid of writing. My ex writes some beautiful stuff but she has that fear of not creating something good so a lot of times she gets crippled and doesn't do anything artistically.
