Being a Writer #7

I enjoy writing. When I have something going on in my life that I can't share with others I tend to write it down on paper. Then, I throw it away. I do this because I figure once I have it out of my system I don't need to dwell on it anymore. I really have a knack for telling stories. I love to sit down and write about anything. I will tell fictional stories about people or horror stories about the crazy killer who lives next door. I have mastered how to keep my audiences attention. If I can make someone say "wow" when they are done that is what I try to do. I really do hope I can get to a point where I can make my stories more detailed and exciting. My weakness with writing is no matter what I am doing it is never good enough. I tend to read back over what I have said a million times and I can't just be satisfied with what I have done. My strengths are the subjects I write about. I can write a novel sometimes about a situation that has happened to me or something I where share a lot of thought. I find it the most frustrating when I have a good idea, I sit down to write about it, and Poof! the idea vaporizes from my thoughts. Writing is a great pleasure for me all around. When it is just me and the pen nothing else matters. Sometimes, however, I tend to write at the wrong times. If I am at work and something pops into my head I will write about it. It relaxes me and takes away the tension I am feeling at the time. If I couldn't write about the way things are going or just for fun. I would be lost. Seriously! I can't even imagine how I would spend my free time. I'd probably be the most hateful person around. There are a lot of things in my head that can't be shared with everyone.
