I am an Emotional Writer

I am an emotional writer. I write from whatever my current point of view and mood dictates. Often my writing may be entirely contradictory or may not even represent my general consensus on a given subject, but is instead a snapshot of a moment in time.

Reading through my journal entries and blog posts may appear to be a debate between various personalities – and in a sense, perhaps it is. No, I do not suffer from some sort of multiple personality disorder, but I use writing to discover and decipher my own jumbled thoughts and feelings. When I start writing, I often don’t know exactly where it is going to go, what the end result will be, or what I will learn along the way, but that is part of the magic of the creative process.

Please keep in mind when reading this blog, that what is being presented is often unfiltered, barely edited, stream-of-consciousness prose that represents only a momentary glimpse of my overall experience of life. If you dislike what I write today, stick around, because you just might love what I write tomorrow!

Ah, that’s good to know, and deals with what I was wondering about in my comment from yesterday. I actually really wish I could write in more of a stream-of-consciousness way myself. I have the opposite problem. I’m writing a dissertation now, but it’s difficult because psychologically, I feel like when I’m writing for others, I can’t get any words down on the page unless they’re 100% thoroughly thought-through, and EXACTLY my definitive statement on whatever subject! It’s a major problem. So it’s really good that you’re able to have a much freer flow of thoughts and sentiments.
