The love/hate relationship...
Dec. 21st, 2003 03:59 pmI find it odd that I have such a love/hate relationship with my own writing. When I'm writing a story, I usually think it's the stupidest, most boring piece of shit ever written. But I try to ignore that voice and keep on going. I force myself to write about 1,000 words every time I sit down to do it. This isn't every day, but a couple of times a week. Slowly, I manage to pull a piece together. Then, when I've got the bare bones, I take it again, and form it into something better.
When I think about it, it's a truly strange thing.
Even stranger is the fact that I know I'm not the only person who feels this way about their writing.
As a writer friend of mine once said, "God, I hate writing. But I love having written."
