[Inspiring Photo]
Finding inspiration is difficult; putting words on a page, to me, is the most challenging hobby I’ve picked up yet. I was never a writer: I hated writing short stories that were required of me in high school, and I can’t remember a time I wrote a poem that wasn’t for a grade. It’s not something that comes naturally to me, and I envy people that can just spit words out and have them all make sense and tell a nice story.
What inspires me? Music sometimes has an effect, and the mood I’m in plays a big role in what I write. I’ve said it before: on this collaborative writing board I don’t write how many maybe think I should write—in order of oldest reply—I write what I feel like writing at the time and screw anyone that thinks I should do otherwise. Even when I’m feeling particularly creative, I don’t like going back and re-reading my own writing. It’s embarrassing to me somehow. I guess what I’m trying to convey with all of this, is that I’m quite low on the self-esteem scale when it comes to my own writing.
But you know what? I’m damn proud of the stories I’ve had the chance to write here (even if I don’t like every word I wrote). We just finished Draw, another piece in a large puzzle that I hope we don’t finish any time soon. I feel like I could put all the praise on Victor’s writer for developing such a great character and I will, because awesome deserves recognition. I’m just along for the ride. I mean, god knows Seven wouldn’t be half so interesting without Vic’s influence.
I feel like I’ve drifted from my original point. Then again, I don’t think this scrap had one to begin with.
Ah, right.
