Baring one's thoughts, ideas, and motivations can be easy for some at times. Harder at times, I think.<br /><br />You use the words think, feel, fear, afraid alot in your writing. Perhaps you should explore other words to express more of your inner writing life. Maybe an exercise in reflection. Maybe further intrepretation of your cyptic, metaphoric, symbolic world.<br /><br />Just suggesting...thanks again!ajwrites57https://www.blogger.com/profile/11336457490614262094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5011477624391614330.post-76671375586333786852013-03-28T19:14:09.190-07:002013-03-28T19:14:09.190-07:00It's quite all right.

I didn't think I was very good and I didn't think I was ever going to do it professionally. In fact I didn't even realize how much I loved it, and how good I was, until about a month after I stopped. Then I kicked myself for not putting up more of a fight about being able to continue.<br /><br />I wasn't writing much back then. I was mostly a jock and spent my days running around more than writing in journals. <br /><br />I get scared sometimes with my writing. At times I think the only reason I'm doing it is because people expect it of me. Back in high school I thought the only reason I was doing it was because I wasn't good at anything else. But then I realized, if I'm that afraid of not doing it, than I must be doing it because I want to. <br /><br />That being said I'm incapable of masking anything when I write, but I try to make it understandable on my blog. My private journals are full of lots of poetic language and I use imagery and symbolism that no one in their rights minds can understand but me. <br /><br />To put it simply, while I don't filter myself on my blog I most assuredly translate it. It's not that I try to be poetic and cryptic. It's just the way my mind works. I experience and feel, and explain through a collection of sights, sounds and smells. Just saying I feel happy, or sad, or elated or depressed, isn't enough to capture the full weight and essence of what I feel. So the only way I know to express it, is through a bunch of metaphors put together. <br /><br />For instance one time I told a story about a man dying in the dessert to explain my anger and pain towards the people in my life who I felt abandoned and betrayed me, because just saying it happened wasn't enough to get those emotions out... maybe I'll write a blog entry about this some time soon.

Did you think of yourself as a writer then? <br /><br />When you write now, do you have in mind self-disclosure? Do you mask your full complete feelings in your blog or do you write to your audience? In your private journal, how deeply personal do you go? Do you dare write, on paper, everything deep inside you?<br /><br />Have you ever written a log about what your life will be five years from now?
