Quote: No one would choose to be something that would immediately make them hated and feared by the ignorant majority of this callous and intolerant world ~Northstar ~Jean-Paul Beaubier~ Alpha Flight vol 2 issue 8
Words from my favorite comic book character. I'm still on the same book if it means anything.
I was advised by one of my friends last night to try and write in this journal every day. Honestly not sure I can handle that. Also I need to be more personal, and I'm not sure how I feel about that.
To be personal in this journal wouldn't that imply that I have a solid personality? That I hold firmly to my beliefs and live a full life? Perhaps not. I could just rant and rant and go on and on about how I feel and give everyone a skewed view of my world. Well not everyone, since I'm sure not many read this. Still why would I want to send out a mixed message. Would I get advice on how to handle the poor situations that are more than likely my own making?
And if I do at some point say okay, I'm going to be the writer I feel that I am and I'm going to just 'bleed all over the page' (bonus points, if you can tell me what char on what show said that about writers) what will if prove? Will I see my faults? My strengths? Or will this become another escape from reality? I already have too many. Would my oddities turn up for others to laugh at or would I be taken seriously?
And if I do decide to take that chance and be more personal to say here's what's happening with me and here's how I feel about it where would I start? Should I take one of those cute this is me things that get sent around in e-mails? Here's the material things that I like, that I live for, that make me feel better about the world and myself. What would be a good starting point?
Should I ramble on about the stories that fill my head, cram every avaliable space till they're all I can really think about?
Also perhaps my greatest fear and the thing holding me back, would being more personal prove what my parents and brother constantly hint at? That I have no life.
I've come to the conclusion that this friend is right. I do need to be more personal, or I will never succeed as a writer and since that is the one dream that makes me calm it is one I need to hold on to. Still, what if I find myself lacking?
