I'm Not a Great Writer

I wouldn't even call myself a good writer. And I would be lying if I said it didn't suck. It does. I wish I was a great writer who could write simple sentences that spoke volumes. But that's not me. I'm just an EC Teacher who happens to like writing meaningless stories that hopefully people will like.

I used to beat myself up about it. I'd do research trying to find ways to become a better writer. And I stopped doing that because I realize it doesn't work. If the ideas just won't come, they just won't come. And even if they do...with me; there's always something.

I remember years ago when I was new to mibba, my 1 star, no comment stories used to annoy me. I'd read the words over and over again till my mind was convinced that this story is really shit and it needed to be trashed.

But I'm not a great writer, and that's okay. People don't comment on my stories and that's okay. But I don't hate my stories anymore, as imperfect as they are. I don't delete them anymore. I keep them safe and sound in my folder, because they're my babies.
