Frustration never suits me, especially when it comes to writing. However, since writing is one of the only things I am passionate enough about to stick to, it holds some of the most annoying frustrations for me. Thus my first question, if you don't mind answering. How do you get past writing frustration? I feel like I shouldn't be letting it control me the way it is, but I'm not sure how else to do. For example, one frustration is the fact that, often times I'll sit down to write without a purpose in mind. Just to work on writing skill, or just because a random tune or passage poped into my head. The problem with this is, everytime I do, the content always turns out.. well, grim. Depressing. Dark. All around NOT me. I'm not a grim person by heart. I don't read those kinds of passages as they always just leave me with a bad taste. However, when I write with a purpose, on and idea that I had and want to get down, (Most of these are Happy) it always comes out as really choppy writing and doesn't have any feel to it what-so-ever. So, first, do any of you have this? This natural tendency to write in a genre or style that isn't really yours, and if so what do you or would you do about it? Just leave it be or try to change it? I realize this might be confusing and I appreciate anyone so much as taking the time to read this. |
