Writer's Block
Slowly I am being pulled closer and closer towards writing a book or something that will be published...not fiction as I'm rubbish at making things up completely. I will never be a JK Rowling or the chick who wrote 50 Shades of Grey (was this truly fiction or non-fiction? regardless, how incredible this started as a Twilight fan fiction website into an e-book trilogy phenomenon). Non-fiction? Hmmm...not so good at that either. I'm not really a journalist...if you're a true journalist, you have to be relentless to find the truth and expose it to the world at all costs...I'm not a journalist. Not that I wouldn't want to find the truth and share this finding with everyone. I think my style is more...well, light-hearted?...fun? I suppose I can be very serious and discuss and debate very serious things...but I believe life is too short. And that we should have some fun and not be so serious all the time. Besides, CNN and BBC and the New York Times and the Guardian and all the other news sources have all the serious stuff covered. I'm a cross between Daily Beast, Gawker and TMZ! Okay, maybe not that bad...but I have to say they are entertaining. And part of me wants to entertain. But not to the detriment of the truth of what I feel and want to say. I have to say that I am enjoying this liberating feeling from writing my thoughts and expressing my feelings. One of my very good friends told me once, and I will never forget it, 'don't censor yourself'. More to come on this...I hope you will stay tuned.
