Hi...my name is Lucy, you've probably seen me around.
The only thing Anyone's ever told me I'm good at is writing..teachers say it..etc. but I can't write, I suck, I'm about to cry because I feel like everyone's been exaggerating my "talent" and I feel useless..hopeless, incompetent at anything and everything I had a friend read part of my paper today, she pretty much told me it sucked..I believe her I hate it I hate it, I feel so horrible, inferior to everyone I had this massive dream of being a writer and now its gone I just want to cry forever forever forever I'm sorry, this is so whiny, I'm just trying really hard to keep my tears from coming I don't know...if someones a writer here will you message me or something? I rarely check the board I just need to speak to someone who understands..even if its just a little bit sorry if this made no sense Lucy Posted on 09/30/09, 09:09 pm |

Wow that has happened to me also. My hot teacher told me I am a fantastic writer but I do not see it .
It sucks because for lots of careers you need more than writing. I got a 5 on my SAT essay which made me said because I though if I passed anything, it would be that.... I hate writing now, Its like the people who told me I was good cursed me forever.

I like to consider myself a writer.
I've had times where i've been in a room and had people read over something I wrote and said "It looks like they just threw random words and spaces on a page". Was I discouraged? Yes. For a long time I stopped writing, months, if I remember correctly. Though I did not give up. You have to sit down and try to remember, "Why do I write?" I came upon the conclusion that I write for myself. I write to confirm the thoughts that are jumbled within my head. It does not matter what someone else thinks about what you write... All that matters is what you think.

thank you so much, I wrote this a long time ago (it seems..I guess it really wasn't that long ago)...but its still nice to hear
writing is my only outlet, it is electric and draining and heart-wrenching but I'm in love with it, and I'll never give it up no matter who says I should
