So I've decided to pretend to be a writer.
I have decided that I am going to write a lot of really shitty stories.
It kind of takes the pressure off of having to write good stories when I know that all I have to do is write shitty ones.
Eventually, like any writer, those shitty stories will get better and better and might even turn into something that other people might want to read.
The mind is a very sophisticated entity, but it can be tricked rather easily.
The pressure to write something good keeps me from wanting to write anything at all, but if all I expect is crap then I feel free to write anything I want.
I have to start somewhere and tricking my brain seems like a great place to start. I am not getting any younger and I'm getting sick of making excuses for myself.
Tomorrow I meet Anne Rice and hopefully she will inspire me to go for it and just start writing crap and get it over with already.
