i remember when i used to write about my life. in fact, i remember when i used to write at all. lately, it's taken such force and anxiety to even record much of anything, and i'm on the verge of uncovering the reason. i have my suspicions, which tend to be an amalgamation of many confusing, transitory parts. there are episodes of momentary rapture

I've felt like that for... I don't know how long. Everything I want to create dies before it's born because I feel like it will never, ever be good enough. I don't know how to solve it, but at least you know you're not alone.

Okay Anne. Let me help you out. First of all you're using really big words. That's impressive. At the very least I'm impressed. I bet you didn't even use spell check once. Secondly, you use a lot of punctuation. I'm going to assume that it is all used correctly, which I think is fabulous because I'm pretty sure I can't even correctly use a comma. Go ahead, check this paragraph. I dare you. And third, this journal entry probably took you minimal amounts of time and energy to write and it is probably the best, most original piece of writing I will read all day. No joke. Probably all month. Not many people can write like you, Annie. Maybe the fact that you have to depend on your writing skillz for income could be a cause for your anxiety. There is a little more at stake now that you aren't just writing for a class. But I still think you're fabulous. :) And I miss you!!!!!!

erica, you're the best. thanks for the very erica-esque pep talk; it made my day. i miss you too.

Ok Anne, I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THIS. Oh my god do I. You really have to read Coaching the Artist Within by Eric Masiel. It helped me so much I can't even tell you, and whenever I feel like I can't write, I read it. He's really good at getting to the core of why it's so hard to write and basically blows up that foundation. It all has to do with cognitive behavioral modification or something like that. Anyway. Just read it. And as always, feel free to give me a call anytime and we can whine about it all together.

And I second what Erica said. It made me laugh cus I could hear her voice as I read it.

<3!

I agree with Erica. When I read your entry...I was extreamly impressed with your vonacular. You paint pictures with words and you always have. I've been envious of your gift since you were 9 years old. You are going to be alright Annie Holmes. Trust me on this. As for being in a coma over your life right now...things will pick up, and you'll wish for the quiet moments once more. One thing I have come to realize is that we (everyone on earth) are never content with ourselves. We always want something more...and we always want it at a time when we are loaded down with so much, good and bad...that it is hard to see the big picture. Just remember not to fear what you love. If you are hitting walls when you write...take a break, do something new. Get refreshed!!!! ^_^ Love you lots.
