|
||
|
||
Some is written down physically, and sent away.
|
||
|
||
Some is locked away. Consigned to eternal draft hell.
|
||
|
||
Some is published under an anonymous pen name.
|
||
|
||
Reading that work back occasionally feels as if it was written by someone else. Written by the Frenetic Scribbler within me.
|
||
|
||
The Bleeding Writer within me.
|
||
|
||
It’s my best work and yet I take no pride in it.
|
||
|
||
Because my best is also my worst.
|
||
|
||
Writing is at its best when backed by strong emotion.
|
||
|
||
Perhaps the strongest emotion of all is pain.
|
||
|
||
Writing is not pain. But it flows from it.
|
||
|
||
All writers bleed, in a way.
|
||
|
||
But writing also lets you control the pain. Control it…and yet unleash it.
|
||
|
||
Let the words flow like blood!
