I s l o w l y type in the keys, and hate every word.

I compare myself to others

And think in disgust that I will never be able to write like them

Famous writer?

No, you will never be one.

Ever.

So don't even think about it.

Yet, I still keep pushing myself through pointless paragraphs

Stupid dialogue

And each day

Make it just a tiny bit better

Even though I know I will never

Be like them

As a writer.

when i was younger, i would frequent a local karaoke bar. single and lonely, drunk and stoned, i would write on napkins or the backs of karaoke request slips. anything i could find really. i wrote daily, almost hourly.

10 years or so, a wife and 2 kids later, who has the fucking time? i'm excited to have discovered this app. hoping that too little will no longer be a fault.

My biggest problem when I'm writing is that I seldom polish my work.

I write something, be it a poem or whatever then I go back over it and check the spelling then I post it.

I'm in such a hurry to get onto the next project I just paste it up and be damned. One day that will change.

I hope!

I spend forever writing something that I think is brilliant. I labor over it, and the next day as I read over what I wrote, I feel that what I wrote is absolutely terrible. Why is that? Am I the only one who feels this phenomenon? Either way, I feel that I am too critical with my work, and after the pride of what I've written wears off, my insecurity in my work sets in. I become afraid of what others will think about it. That's my biggest flaw in anything I create.

Probably not writing as much as I think I have.

For example, I can write for what seems like a long time, only to discover the addition of perhaps three or four paragraphs.

It's not that I can't write a lot, I can, I guess it's just that in my head I imagine that I've written much more than on reality. Therefor chapters I write tend to be shorter, which overall may not be a problem but nevertheless irritates me.
