For a lot of people writing comes naturally. Some people churn out tones of material and most of it is shit. Some people churn out shit loads of material and it all turns out to be pure gold. I on the other hand can't ever seem to find anything i want to write about. I'm not referring to blogs though. Im referring to creative writing. Its something i love to do. i love to write. I love to write, then direct and shoot what i have written. Then i like to compose the music for the films i shoot. But when i can't think of anything to write about i am stuck in a limbo that is insanely depressing. Its not like im trying to think of anything "important" to write about. Im not trying to spread any particular message. its just i come up with an idea, and then i look at it and think "its OK...but its not something i particually care about" so then it doesnt develop any further and gets abandoned.
I wish I was more prolific. I wish i could churn out endless material. I even wish i could be one of those people who churns out absolute crap but doesnt realise it and is actually really proud of their crap. But i cant. Im always aware ot how good or bad something is. Its not even self critisism. Its just an observation.
A blog is really easy for me to write. its basically just putting down my own thoughts. Thats not what i want to write in "creative" writing. I want to write someone elses thoughts. I want to create a world on the page. I want characters who think for themselves as apposed to just my opinions re-worded. But most of all i want to actually get something fucking finished! i never finish anything. Its not a lack of interest, just a lack of insperation.
Maybe i should write a story about a person who cant seem to write creativly so instead spends all their time on an internet blog talking about how they cant write creativly which then gives them the idea to write a story about a person who cant seem to write creativly so instead spends all their time on an internet blog talking about how they cant write creativly which then gives them the idea to write a story about a person who cant seem to write creativly so instead spends all their time on an internet blog talking about how they cant write creativly which then gives them the idea to write a story about a person who cant seem to write creativly so instead spends all their time on an internet blog talking about....
Wait. Did i just create a paradox?
thats quie creative i suppose
