I think writing is the hardest medium to communicate what you really think/mean without sounding trite.

As opposed to... speaking? Motioning?

I believe that the more you write, the better you become at expressing those thoughts over time; e.g., over the last four years of writing in my blog(s) and the last two or so years of school, my writing has seen a drastic improvement, simply because I'm writing more.

However, I also hold a belief that at some point, words will not be able to describe or appropriately articulate in life, but thats only because I believe humanity has limits. including the whole of humanity.

it's good for expressing small things, but yes - language is imperfect for cramming every nuance of meaning into the words you are trying to impart.

Sometimes I think it might be better to be an ant, who communicate using pheremones & rubbing antennaes so you not only get what they are trying to say but what they mean and the chain of thinking that goes behind it. But then, the beauty of great writing is that it connects a wide variety of people and still invokes different emotions and thoughts in every reader. I miss my english classes, where I could hear how other students read the same book and came away with an entirely different idea from me that was nonetheless valid...

'Cause anyone can do it!

Like poetry. It has such a low signal-to-noise ratio, only where "signal" is "amazing" and "noise" is "omg i fall into a pit of blackness. gw sux."

i feel that way a lot--like it's all been said before. and so then when you want to express even the most basic human emotion you feel like you have to entertain someone with something new; somehow you must structure your thoughts in such a way that readers (even if there are none--and this is usually the case) will not only empathize and relate, but will appreciate that no one else has ever worded it quite so eloquently. and that's stupid! and think of all the poor writers that have been overlooked by society, living with the most curious and almost downright seductive kind of depression; these are the ones that write just to fucking write and because they lack the motivation to finish the story or because they spiral into alcoholism and can't publish anything more, they die alone and ignored and few will ever realize how amazing they are. and it's really just a tragedy ( ... )
