With everything that is going on in my personal life, I just can't seem to pull anything out of it. I don't know if I'm afraid if I tug on my heart strings that it will all just spill out and make an even bigger mess to clean up. I don't know if it's me becoming a sort of perfectionist when it comes to writing because I want what I need to say to be perfect, that I get all the details out and down to the cross of the T. I'm afraid I'll miss out on saying something I really need to say, something I need to get out and I'll have to start all over. I feel like everything I write is so sad and depressing and no one will want to read it. I feel like it's crap. I need to get soo much out and off my chest and shoulders because I'm buckling, literally, under all the weight of the world.
I'm just so scared.

| Posted by Alison McKenzie on 06/05/08 at 07:27 AM We all are buckling, to some to degree or another. The weight of the world is killing us all, and I think most of us are afraid. Not that knowing it helps much probably. As for the writing, I know exactly what you mean about missing out. There are SOOOO many times when I've "finished" something I've written, only to remember that I meant to say this or that. Well, my solution is to write another one. It's not a perfect solution, but it seems to satisfy my need to get it out. As for writing sad and depressing pieces, THOSE are the emotions that beg release...no so much the happiness for some reason, I don't know why. Whatever you write, it's NEVER crap. Art just doesn't work that way. I say (if I had a say in this, which I'm pretty sure I don't - haha!) WRITE! The practice AND the release will do you good!
