Well, maple, I have to say that you make quite a bigger deal out of my attempts at writing than I ever have or could...
It makes for such great PR, really.
I haven't claimed to finish a thing--
Sure, I've tried to write novels and stories and plays and poems...and I have one or two finished.
But they stink, they're not worth sharing, they're failed writings that I try to learn from.
I assure you, maple:
As soon as I finish writing something I think is worthwhile, you'll be the first to know.
But yeah...I'm not claiming to be another Shakespeare, but rather, just another Shakespeare fan.
I like to write, and I hope to get something published someday in some capacity.
I DO write a lot of non-fiction stuff...but I don't share it?
Why?
Because this is me trying to figure out the world for myself FIRST, maple, MY thoughts on matters, everytthing from God to race to religion to politics to art...
MY thoughts.
And as such, hey're none too polished, I'm sure...hand-written and jotted down right in the moment, without a second thought, just what I'm thinking in THAT moment.
And I do this a lot.
And one day, I hope I'll have enough of these and enough experience and wisdom to look back on what I've written and thought...
And THEN maybe I'll be able to do something with them, share them
Not before.
As a final note, maple:
Call me a hypocrite, and a failure, and a blowhard...
But at least I TRY, I'm taking my shot.
That's more than can be said for you--unless YOU would like to share some of YOUR genius work?
