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.

yiiiiiiiiiiiiis.

and amen.

Just. Like. That. Takes over your soul or maybe it came from there, but all the same ... it is what we do. What we eat and breathe and talk and live and love. Even when it hurts. Even when it cuts. And especially when it makes us smile.

Well, that's a good thing because we love to read you.
Now how about a new chapter of Best Souvenir?

Hopeful fan.

Me too.

Except when I hate it more than anything in the world. More than spam in a can, or Nazis even.

Brava, my dear. Cherish that love. Let it soak over you. It must be love if you just have to do it even when it keeps you up at night. And you'll publish original stuff. With a passion like that, how can you not?!

Word. Like breathing.

I write even when I'm writing something boring for work - it just veers off and I have to rein it back in.

What would it be like, to live without the urge to write?

I don't ever want to know.

Me too. Even though it feels like forever since I managed to complete an actual fic, the desire to write is there every single day driving me nuts, right along with scenes from fics I haven't written yet going through my head. It gets a little distracting at times, you know, when you're trying to get on with your day to day life and the inner writer keeps butting in with suggestions, comments, things to remember for the time when they might be useful; and don't even get me started on how some characters just refuse to shut up and keep demanding to be written. Yes, I realise this probably makes me sound insane *g* I still write notes, I have piles of them, set aside agaist the blessed day when I find I can actual manage to write a story again.

Your love of writing certainly comes over in your fics. It's a wonderful thing.

I am happy for you, and a bit envious. Because I can't write anything now except on my LJs. :/

OT: Hi......

[dracschick.livejournal.com]

Just wanted to post and introduce myself since I found your LJ through one of my flist buddies and friended you since I thought we had some interests in common.

I'm 37 and have been a Dracula/vampires fan for over 25 years. My other interests are Phantom of the Opera (since '89) and the anime/manga Hellsing.

Feel free to read my LJ, Dracula stories and friend me back:)

Take care,
Chris

I'm glad that you love writing so much, because I love reading your writing. =)
For me, writing is a release- it helps me deal with anything that's frustrating or angering me. I tend to keep my feelings hidden and pent-up, and by just writing whatever I can help myself express them. And, you know, I won't have a breakdown. =P
But writing can also be joyful too. I've written a (very) few things that I've absolutely loved to write, and loved to read, and been really proud of. =)
Yeah for writing! =)
