I'm Not a Writer

I can't be.

I mean...sometimes I get these wild ideas or plots that are just so great I want to put them in words so people can see them and enjoy them too. But they always start off okay and then I gradually find myself forcing the words out of my head, adding in little details that wasn't apart of the image I had in the first place. Thus leaving me in a state of "Why am I writing this? This sucks."

That's why 99% of the stories that aren't deleted are one shots. They capture what I was actually feeling in the moment. I think I've been trying to make myself into something I'm not. I just don't have the ...how can I say it... drive? the will power? Or maybe I'm just not that type of person. At this age, I'm finding it a little bit easier to accept things about myself that aren't harmful to me or anyone else. Things that make me who I am and just run with that shit.

What makes a writer anyway?
