what is it that you're looking for? what is it that you think you're going to find? who is it that you're screaming at? think about the man who said,an eye for an eye will make the whole world blind i feel so inspired,yet i cannot write.everything i begin to write i end up disregarding for fear that it is not good enough.but for who does it have to be so good?i am pleased whever i write.perhaps,the piece itself is not that amazing.but what is truly amazing,is the relief i feel after i write.my emotions are no longer bottled up and enslaved,instead they are one with a free flowing,endless,raging river...which for all i know could end up connecting to a massive body of water.i can only imagine the passion that would lie there. lately,i've felt as if all my writing must be philosophical or aristocratic,but i now realize,it does not.writing too often bears the misfortune of an authors obsessive compulsiveness.one begins to write what may be a masterpiece and in doing so,constantly reads over and revises every single line until it is far distant from the original.it is in this action that one may lose a potential masterpiece.but of course,all the greats revised their work.and this constant revision has come to be the very literature which we read today:novels,plays,poems etc.however,the work of the greats which remains the greatest [to them] is that which has never and will never be seen by anyone else.the pieces which are written from completely raw emotion in the secret journals of the author or on a loose sheet of scrap paper,never to be found again.it is these pieces which will forever remain the true masterpieces.the scribbles in a lost notebook which will stay the unsung heroes of the author's life.and perhaps,by some great stretch of luck,these pieces are discovered,however,the reason that they are never published is because one may not find them "up to par" and alas,i return to the sad,but true,fact that writers often cease to write when they feel that someone is reading.so to all writers,i tell you,do not fear words on paper,or rather,your emotions on paper,fear the paper that goes out blank,or the pen that you leave untouched.never worry that your writing is not 'up to par' if you do this,i assure you'll get a hole in one.
