i think i've come to the conclusion that i am hopelessly shallow.
pathetically mundane and pitifully not good at writing.
i couldn't even think of a synonym for *not good* right off the top of my head...really who AM i kidding with my writerly aspirations.
Maybe I should give up the existential angst and settle into a nice middle class existence sans creative urges...or perhaps just pick up a Bedazzler every time a creative urge strikes and then hammer every visible surface with sparkly pins until the torturous wave abates and i'm free to loll around pointlessly like so many others do effortlessly...
bob_dobalina:
don't get fooled into thinking that a lack of a profound vocabulary inhibits your creative abilities. as long as what you do has meaning for yourself and makes use of your values and experiences, to hell with what other people think.

i think that about 90% of what i write is shit but the only way to get to that good 10% is to dive in and wade through what stinks.

p.s. i tend not to add shallow and mundane people to my friends list eeek

Based on what you wrote there, you don't seem shallow or mundane. When you think about the difference between a life of existential angst and boring middle class existence, that means something, even if you choose to live in such a manner some or all of the time. I think I should be engrossed in intellectual growth and exist on a higher plane than the rest of society, but most of the time I just sit my ass down and watch TV, knowing I should be doing something more meaningful. I can't say about you're writing though. You may suck.
