I finally feel I can start writing again. And not just fanfic, but something that's my own.<br />I've made many attempts at writing, but always took the easy way out - taking characters that someone else had created, moving within perimetres set by them, sticking to their rules.<br />Whenever I posted something personal in blogs or forums, I'd do so in English. On one hand, I felt that I could express myself better and clearer in English than in my mother tongue - but in reality, this was just another way of distancing myself from what I'd written. I'd use the computer, making it easier to delete things, to censor myself. <br />For the first time in fifteen years, I will start writing again. With pen and paper. I will have to weigh my words carefully, think before I put them down.<br />I'm looking forward to it.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/38101791-116889069859189118?l=parttimedramaqueen.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The part-time drama queenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15826371933457313660noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38101791.post-1167772634748909012007-01-02T13:11:00.000-08:002007-01-02T13:17:14.836-08:00Wearing: Black pinstriped cargo pants, pink turtleneck, zipped sweater striped in various hues of pink and red.<br />Watching: Documentary on millionaires in Germany.
