Are you satisfied with your writing? What is it about? How often do you write? Do you dream of people finding out about it eventually?

    I had a Kafkaesque writing crisis recently. I was close to destroying 25 years of writing, because no one’s interested and what’s the point etc. I was so worn down that my writing just seemed like garbage. Maybe that’s why no one’s interested, I thought. As I tried to build the courage to destroy it all, I began to see it all in a sharper focus. It was good writing. So I’m satisfied with it on that level. I tend to write about life in the grey areas, where regular language doesn’t do it justice. I usually write every day, but I’m taking a break so as to break my ingrained writing habits, create new ones, keep things fresh. I would like for people to “find out about it”, but at this point, I’m also OK if no one does.

      Your description sounds more than interesting enough to me, glad to hear you didn’t destroy it. Is there somewhere I can view your work? Assuming you want to share.

        I’m a songwriter and because life has been iNtErEsTiNg for a while, I haven’t been able to record anything properly. That’s part of the frustration. I might be able to share some lyrics in a sort of poem form, though.
