deviantART: GreyFaerie137's Journal: Hrm.

So I've noticed that I'm going through a red phase. Anyone read up on the psychology of color phases in an artist? Let's see if it's right.

My subscription is about to run out. :/

I have no idea what I'm doing with my life.

I need to move out.

I miss old friends.

I also miss writing. But there's really nothing to write about that anyone will read. If I write now it'll sound like a stupid emo kid.

And once again I've gone and made this journal all about me.

Well it's not like anyone reads these, honestly. But that's just the emo kid in me.

I am only able to touch on some of these ideas whilst half-awake.

Writing isn't about reading. It's not about readers or fans or critiques. It's about writing--putting words together to form a theme or idea. Don't write because people will read, write because you want to write.

It's a good stress-reliever, too. I recommend writing about something goofy or funny to lighten your mood.

Journals are supposed to be all about you. That's why they're called journals.

And I read all your journals. (;

I read your journals 8D

But I'm with HC ("Jeff", fff since when do I let people have real names?), if you want to write, just do it. If no one reads it that time around, then just hope for the better with something new.

It's really hard for me to write when I don't have something to latch on to and make my own. If I have inspiration of something that I really enjoy, it'll take me less than 24 hours to write out a whole story that I'm happy with. If there's nothing there that inspires me like that it becomes forced and fake and I get bored with it and can't do anything.

And I feel selfish if I talk about myself a lot. You know, like I am now.

I appreciate you reading them.

Like I told Jeff, it's weird the way I write. If there's nothing there brewing, I just can't do it.

Don't even think about what you're writing, just write! It's rather interesting to see what you can come up with. If it starts to feel forced, relax, take a break, and start again! Or, think up some inspiring idea! (:

You're not a selfish person; you have to be a bit selfish sometimes, though.
