So lately, I’ve been feeling lonely.
It’s just that, I read all these books and the authors have this grasp of the language and the rules and everything, and it’s so beautiful and perfect.. and then I try to do my stuff, and find myself stumbling to get around my flaws with know way of knowing what they know.
You know how you sometimes get rookie bands making friends with big bands on tour, and those bands show them the ropes and help them improve?
…I dont’ have any of that. I mean, I’d love to sit with a professional author and chat about the best way to do this and that and everything, but I don’t know anyone.
I wrote a post a few days back about Punk Ethic that I still haven’t put up, ‘cos it’s too ambitious and too much of a fantasy. But one of the plans there would stop that, ‘cos it would get authors to work togethor and support each other.
God knows there’s plenty of writers who could use support.
I just wish I had people to talk to and discuss this messy business with. Proper contacts and friends in the writing business.
*sigh*

You do have friends in the writing business! ^^ And ambition is what made the famous authors stand out – the desire to do something different. And your style of writing is modern and internet-savvy – perfect for this generation of teenagers. You’re not afraid to include issues such as homosexuality and drugs etc. I know I am! ^^;;
Yep, I know exactly how your feeling (I have friends who are occasionally suicidal – I have to BE the councillor sometimes :O ). You have my support. *hugs*
PS. I am not grammer-perfect either. My editor told me that I repeatedly get ‘its’ and ‘it’s’ mixed up. Yeeps.
