    I hate writing. The things I want to say never seem to come out right onto the pages. Words abandon me when I need them most, and I'm left constantly deleting and redoing the same sentence time and time again. I never can get anything written. Whenever I sit down to start writing, I get nowhere. I actually haven't written anything substantial in almost six months now.

    At the same time, I love having written. All my life, I have enjoyed telling others of the worlds I've imagined and the things I've created in my mind. I only bother with writing because it is the best way to tell a story. I don't actually enjoy the writing part at all. It's all about that beautiful world in my mind that I want others to see and the story I want them to hear. I don't really even care about recognition for my work. I just want to know that people got to hear my stories and that they enjoyed them.

    What about you? Do you write? If so, do you agree with what I think about writing? Tell me about it, especially if you have another view on writing. I love seeing other people's opinions that differ from my own.

    I enjoy writing. It isn't too much of a passion for me, but sure is fun. I have problems starting stories. I can't jump into a story with an idea and be expected to finish it real quick. I've tried before and although it wasn't terrible it didn't feel right to me. Now I come up with plans, and how the story will work out. I'm not sure how everyone else writes their stories, but I'd recommend planning it out to those having a bit of trouble.

    I noticed that when I have a good idea, it doesn't really come out on the paper like it should. I do like writing a whole lot, but it just isn't the same if it keeps coming it out really weird.

    This is how I feel about drawing. lol
    Anyways, I kinda hate writing in general. It just bores me to death. x_x So... yeah. Impromptu is the only kind of speech I ever give.

    This is how i feel with writer's block. Paraphrasing a conversation with one the few fans I've had who commented from the beginning and on (I email with them, as i do with several others)
    "You promised a chapter"
    "I'm trying but lack inspiration" (Mentally, since i hate being rude, especially since they became a friend I'm sayimg "Argh! You ask me constantly about chapters, even if it's only a couple days! I'm having issues writin! stop asking!" But never say it)
    "Okay. I hope you write soon"
    "(Guilt kicks in) I'll try to have one by ___ (Mentally, "Really? You had to guilt me? Ugh. Time to force it.)

    So i go and spend forever just staring at phone trying to think of what to type, and finally quit after a paragraph, then freak out the last hour before due date and get it done (or email them feeling bad). When i dont have writer's block I REALLY enjoy writing, having enough fun i don't care if i get views or comments, I'm just happy that i wrote. Though views and comments are appreciated, i don't think anyone ever complains that people are reading and reviewing unless it's flames. I actually haven't been asked in a while, and i think it's the fact that they ran into a super bad case of writers block and realized why i wasn't writing.

    The only thing different for me when I compare this to myself, is that I enjoy writing. I want to share what I have to others. To see their reaction to a "different" story for once. Of course, in my opinion, my story is pretty lackluster compared to others (which is not entirely an educated judgement considering I only read a select few FanFictions). There are times where I do not feel like writing, or that it is (mind my English) completely shit. I persevere anyway. There is nothing worse in the world of Literature than an incomplete story in my honest opinion. I strive to complete it. THAT is one of my many drives, and one I keep close to my heart.

    I love writing, I'm just not good at it. Stories are my favorite thing to tell, but they never turn out quite the way I imagine. The details get messed up and I feel like somethings are never enough. It's honestly so hard to write down my thoughts because it never does accurately capture the moment.

    Whether or not I enjoy writing really depends on what I'm writing, and how I feel about it. Take my fanfiction Destiny for examples. Sometimes, I got the feeling like everything I wanted to write really worked out well. The text was good, dialogue was decent too, just everything looked like it was really well written. However, at other times I got the exact opposite feeling. I had a great idea in my mind, but on paper it really didn't look anything like that. In thoses cases, writing isn't fun to me. So yeah, it just really depends. :P
