Writing.Com General Discussion

Well, now I feel most undisciplined, and will doubtless illustrate my lack, and incur disdain before sentence's end. How-evah... how do you FEEL after writing these 'grim' bits? It seems like you feel that that writing is superior to your forced gaiety. (Please bear in mind, we are our own worst critics. Personally, I have a burning urge for a little Compare n Contrast now-any samples of the 'grim' smoothness and the 'choppy' cheerfulness in your port.?). I dunno, opinions are like that most necessary of impolite orifices, everyone's got one and almost everyone else's stinks, but to me the mere fact of sitting for a write, goal in mind or not, already makes you a more constructive writer than, say, me, who let my writing (and my writing.com account) languish for half a decade. (I have a five year old...I need say no more.). Maybe the grim bits are things you need to purge? We all have dark and light in our psyche...maybe your dark side wants acknowledgement? Maybe print your grim bits out, delete them, and then burn them? Or maybe you're ignoring a promising career?
And to think I only came wandering through seeking advice on what to do with these incredibly unwieldy sentences I keep writing. I have a 362 word contest entry that, I swear, contains like, 8 sentences. (OK, maybe more than that, but it is sporting a coupla dinosaurs.)
