writing for me

listenin to: daniel powter
workin on: stuff

so a friend of mine recently got himself a blog. and before i took a look, he forewarned me about it being all guts and emotion. and you know that's the thing about writing, like that proper old school kind of writing, it allows you to slip into that honest part, where you know exactly what is going on. that part where you cant lie or fool anyone. and good writing takes that and spills it onto the surface, no lies. the hard part is being fine with it and realising that upon writing, you are giving people permission to read and derive opinions about your work and essentially you. and honestly, it can be scary to think that anyone who reads your post has caught one more glimpse of something close to you. but even that is fine... i think.

and in many ways writing is one of those things that is completely plain down honest, sometimes not people, sometimes not people you care about, sometimes not even putting yourself out there. the idea of relying on people is a difficult one and something which i have never quite been able to do with ease. and many tell me how bad this is. yes and no, and i know more yes than no. i do know that. but it's hard when it backfires and you swear you wont let it happen again. but being human, it does and so it goes on.

so rob rok on and continue to go all guts and glory on your blog.
