I don’t think I’m a natural born writer. (If there is such a thing….) I’m not even a natural born talker, or a natural born story teller or any of the other things they say about writers. I’m a slaver, an agonizer and an over thinker. At least I have been. I’m working on becoming a better writer by writing. I’m not sure how it’s going to work for me because I can’t seem to get into the rhythm of writing every day.
I’m getting better, I paying more attention to what I like to read and how it’s put together. I’m trying to kill two birds with one stone and increase my typing speed while improving my writing. The problem I’ve been having is I don’t think about writing every day. And I still edit myself constantly while I’m writing.
If only writing was as easy as reading or chatting with an old friend. I think it’s possible. I think if you write enough and get into a good relaxed state you could write and it would be easy. Until then it is as awkward as a blind date. I’ve been scanning books on writing from the library. I’m waiting for the new found knowledge to kick in. Maybe it’s just a matter of time? Time and typing. Maybe if I had a mentor I could short cut the process. Any writers out there who want to give me a critique?
