Why I want to write.

I feel like every form of art has a voice. No matter what you're doing, you're expressing yourself through something that basically has it's own language. It's a beautiful thing.

You know when you're reading a book, or watching a movie, and it's amazing until the end. And then you sit there thinking...WTF just happened? Did they seriously just end it like that. Are you kidding me? *cough*lakeviewterrace*cough*

Writing makes me feel...in control. You can create and destroy worlds how you see fit, and no one can tell you you're wrong in doing so. It's your work. If you don't like the way something's going, change it. If you don't like the way a character is developing, kill him/her off. That simple right?
Wrong.
My problem is this. I have trouble accepting my own work. It's always in the back of my mind, eating at me. "No one will ever want to read this." It makes me sick.
There's a brick wall blocking my imagination, and I need to figure out how to break it down. I know there's something lurking there. Well, I hope there is.

So...back to the point. Why do I want to write? Because everything that's beautiful in this world (that doesn't come naturally of course, like kids :] ) starts with a pen and paper. There is nothing better than a good book. Nothing. I want to be the one writing those books.
