I hope everything turns out great for you =] and don't ever think that you're writing means nothing because that's a total lie. I agree with eight letters late. Don't think about the importance of what you're writing and how it'll impact people, think about how it makes you feel.
Write what you want to, write when you want to, write how you want. That's my advice.
.....I wish I followed my own advice XDDecember 5th, 2011 at 11:31pm -
I read this thing once, I don't remember where it was, but it said that part of writing is to avoid the question, "What's the point?" because that just gets you down and discourages you. At 23, your time is definitely not running out - though I know it may feel that way sometimes. I'm 19 and I feel like that.
If you think you have the talent, all you really have to do is write. I totally get how you feel, like you don't have the energy, but at least for me, writing something good is energizing in and of itself. You just have to do it.December 5th, 2011 at 11:24pm -
I always try doing that, but it just proves to be more pressure. I think I just have a mental blockade for like no reason lol. Maybe I should put my head in a blender >_>December 5th, 2011 at 11:23pm

Aha what an almighty coincidence xD
Ya'know what you should do? Join a contest, I joined one today cause' I felt stuck with my writing, so its giving me a push, exactly what I needed.December 5th, 2011 at 11:20pm -
Thank you <3 I know I should just do it, but...I don't know. I guess all the stress from work is affecting my writing as well and my self-esteem. lol. I should just sit there and write and just let the words and characters talk through me. That's what I used to do.
I'm even thinking of going back to fanfiction for fun to get the creative juices flowing XD
BTW, love your username, I am watching Lost right now >_> hahaDecember 5th, 2011 at 11:18pm -
I think everyone is feeling depressed today.
Don't ever think you're writing means nothing
That could be potentially dangerous, you said yourself you have talent, so why undermine that talent of yours? Be proud and happy with your writing.
Although I do sometimes feel like my writing isn't good enough, but then I just try again, I like to do it and even if other people may not think my work is 'amazing' im still doing it for my own leisure.
As should you<3December 5th, 2011 at 11:12pm
Or take a break from writing and start reading others work, looking for inspiration, we all get writers block :-)
