one of those moods, huh? sitting at the computer, contemplating life, missing home and youth and even what lj was 5 years ago? me too. go do something fantastic so that you can move forward and tell yourself that you're still interesting and impressive, because you are! you're just bored.

sage advice, but honestly just writing again felt soooooo good. Even if it was pure masturbation, it helped to feel myself putting words down again.

that's something fantastic, isn't it?

yeah. It's so funny how, when you're in school and given writing assignments you're like, "well fuck that assignment, it isn't what I FEEL LIKE WRITING. I'd rather write something LIKE THIS," and then you go off and create something and maybe it's good and maybe it's terrible, but you have the drive.

Then you get to "the real world," and you're working and suddenly you can't get started to save your life because you're so out of practice or just beaten down and tired or unsure of yourself or whatever excuse or combination of excuses you want to give for not being able to even make shit.

I want to start a writing group/circlejerk/whatever, but I know I'd probably hate it after starting it because:

1) most writers are flakes.
2) most writers are egotistical.
3) most writers aren't very good.
4) I'm some if not all the above.
