Well, this is my 14th attempt at starting to write. Anything. I’ve had so much running through my head that I don’t know when to stop and say, “oh, THAT’s something!”, or not. So I had a sudden and, if I do say so myself, a ground-breaking idea; write what you feel.
Amazing, isn’t it?
I've always felt that this is what I wanted to do but everything around me screams the opposite. Do it this way, do it that way, follow the proven formulas. Well to be honest, that’s never worked for me.
Not to say I’m the rebel I think I want to be, but I’ve just always questioned things, (to myself). After all, these are the precise methods that are followed by those who have achieved greatness. At least greatness in my mind. The inspirational people and artists that have gone on to live throughout history are all people who have gone against the man, the grain, and dug their own trenches. We all know who these people are.
So, what do I want to get out of writing? Clarity. Clarity in my head, in my soul, in my future, in my writing itself. In every great statue, there has been much marble cast aside as shavings and chippings, but it is only through this process that beauty can be witnessed and go on to live forever.
So chip away.
