Writer
I'm not sure whether or not I'm still allowed to call myself a writer. I haven't written anything noteworthy in months. Sure. There's the occasional journal entry. The occasional poem for DJ. The occasional first chapter of a story that's supposed to turn out amazing.. But still, none of this could ever be revealed to another human being.
This writer's block is more like a wall than a simple block. I hit it hard and fast a year and a half ago. I believe I was on page 132 of my most recently attempted fantasy novel (tentatively entitled Fields of Elwood) when I decided to look back on what I had done. Wow.
I'm pretty sure I burned that manuscript. It was either that horrible, or I'm overly self-critical. One of the two must be true.
Recently, I have decided that fantasy is not my field. I'm much better at finding the bizarre in everyday life than creating that strangeness. My latest project involves a collection of creative non-fiction stories.The premise: how much goofy shit I've done. It should be an enlightening read.
