Fiction, Fiction, Everywhere, and Not a Phrase to Think

We are supposed to write about writing fiction, or about fiction writing but I'm not really sure exactly what I should talk about. Any time you write fiction I think it's something different, you can never write the same thing the same way twice, which I am notoriously known for when I write out one of my chapters only to later type it out and end up with something different. I believe that your mind is always adding to ideas and building off of them to get better and better. I suppose that is the beauty of writing fiction stories, you have total freedom to change and adapt. This is what keeps me writing, and I hope that one day my writing inspires someone else to write the way so many writers have inspired me.

Unsure of what else to write, I waited until after today's class to continue my response. I find myself suddenly feeling unsure in my decision to take this course; my love for writing suddenly coming to an impasse. During our writing assignment I was pretty proud of the story I came up with on the spot, considering my talent lies in coming up with well thought out stories that I usually take a couple weeks to even think about starting. But then I heard the stories other people wrote and I suddenly realized that perhaps I'm not so cut out for this like I thought.

But I suppose not much can really be done about it now, I'm here and I'll make the most of it. I guess I'll just have to stick to my fanfictions full of humor and no real storyline, since that seems to be the only thing I'm good at. What a waste; I wish I had realised this years ago when I started writing.

  1. Keep going, don't stop now... for one thing writing is about practice, and also, if it's something you're drawn to doing you have to keep doing it... keep thinking about it and also keep practicing!
