Interlude-- writer's fright
For instance, I was going to post a follow up to the previous post, but I am working up to it. I know it is going to take a while, and a lot of thought, and when I think about sitting down and knocking it out, it actually feels kind of like stage fright. Different than just writer's block-- when I have writer's block, I just have nothing to say; I sit at the computer, try, give up.
In this case I have plenty to say, but it seems like such a chore to say it, with the strength I want to say it. I am worried it will come out wrong, that my words will never encompass what the incident meant to me; Perhaps it is the fact that I am doing it in Livejournal, and the whole world can see? perhaps I am just writing too damn much lately? ( I write for every class in some capacity).
As for writing nobody sees-- I had taken to journaling, but was finding that I did best with a blank sketchbook, as sometimes it seemed that words were not enough and I would have to illustrate my thoughts. I make all these excuses for leaving it behind, though-- too much to stuff in my book bag, too many other things I neeed to do, etc.More stage fright?
