I know there have been times when I have been throwing ink on page only to look back at it and say, "Wow. Do I really mean that? Huh, I guess I do." Then I wonder just who am I anyway. I should get to know that guy.stylee19https://www.blogger.com/profile/16242344742430366029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030431714749086791.post-37673917128012265402010-01-07T21:14:16.342-08:002010-01-07T21:14:16.342-08:00Now you've got me wondering about my own motiv...Now you've got me wondering about my own motivations. I'm very much driven to say things in precisely the right way (which is probably why I don't do as much creative writing as factual writing). I love that writing allows me to edit and restate as much as I want until the thing is exactly the way I want it and the meaning is clear. I often mess up when I speak and muddle my intended message. <br /><br />Also, writing helps me explore my real feelings about am issue and move past my knee-jerk emotional reactions which usually explode with far more passion than my actual feelings contain. I don't have that kind of control when speaking.<br /><br />Incidentally, don't worry about letting that little boy down. I guarantee that if you were to foster a meaningful relationship with him, and help him to feel of value, he'd be far more impressed by that than by any professional benchmark or accolade.Lynnershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16684176598382353272noreply@blogger.com
