Oh, MEDIUM, You are a F**king Emotional Roller Coaster
Writing is an emotional challenge. Every. Single. Time.
It is an extension of your thought process, your emotions and your overall mood. It can be happy and fluffy, or dark and dirty.
Some days I am so excited to put a piece together, that has been floating around in the frontal and parietal parts of my crazy brain. Somedays, however, I sit and stare off into space and wonder if I can share the twisted imagery that stirs in me, like blood red eyes on a moonless night.
Medium has taught me that sometimes, it is BETTER to just share the happy and fluffy pieces, even though, the dark and dirty get more readers’ attention. It’s not the fault of the reader, I GET THAT. However, it seems as though the darker and deeper I dig, the more “interesting” my work is.
When I first started posting on this network, it was a “trial run” to see if I can even consider writing as a way to succeed. I have had one payment of just over 24.00 sent to me, and that made me absolutely ECSTATIC! I was finally being read, heard and seen as a writer. It was a shove in the direction to write more, and to hone my skills.
WITH GREAT WRITING COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY.
