What do you do each day that doesn’t contribute to your writing — and can you eliminate it?
Let's first start with the fact that I am not a writer. One, I'm horrible at grammar, and two, (did i use too many commas?) I'm not gifted in thinking of creative words and describing things in an interesting, elegant way. I don't ever see myself writing a novel like one of my dear friends, or writing poetry like my talented mother and sister-in-law, or writing funny, witty blogs like my other sister-in-law, or writing in my journal daily like my sister. My writing is not very good, which is what I think contributes to why i don't write more. There is the tv and the internet and the cleaning that keeps me from finding time to write, but really it's that I don't present my thoughts well, and many times I don't think my thoughts are that interesting. How do I eliminate this? By writing more of course! Talent contributes a lot to great writing, but doesn't practice as well? Every writer has "good" works and "not so good" works. I know I'll never be a great writer, but that shouldn't stop me from writing, because one, I love going back and reading my past journal entries, and two, one of these days my children might like to know what their mother and their little selves were up to!
