Something about me

[lettered]

I love to write.

Even when nothing goes right and I have to tear it all apart and it's not coming to me and I can't ever be as good as I imagine and I can't go to sleep at night because of it and I stress about never publishing original stuff.

I love it. More than just about anyone or anything in the world. I love it like that.

I think it's fascinating how differently it occurs to different people.

I wish I could describe how it is for me, because it's so very similar to yours and so very *not*. I guess, in the end, it feels like I'm taking something--my life, I guess, the world, certain truths, canon if it's fanfiction but much more than that--and writing for me is breaking that something into bits, each of which is a story. And if I didn't do that breaking down everything would be just one formless blob without shape or color or sound. You could probably shoot me and convince me it didn't really happen to me.
