I Wrote Today

I wrote today.

You have no idea how wonderful those words make me feel, how they send a burst of excitement throughout my entire body. The sense of accomplishment for writing is the greatest thing I have ever done.

It is all the more important because it has been hard for me to write throughout this past year. For some reason, my mind wanders whenever I sit down to type out my story. It is as if, from what I have concluded after some thought, as if I am almost afraid of writing. I do not want to have my finished product hated by the people that I so thoroughly want to please. The thought of letting people down is just terrifying.

Writing is an art form that is hard to perfect. In fact, I'm pretty sure nobody has ever perfected writing. But that is because there are so many different styles and ways to let out the thoughts in ones mind. This is something that should be embraced, though, not feared. My thoughts are different from anyone elses. They are mind alone and I shall share them in my own way. The end result is perfection in its own form.

So, when I say, "I wrote today," I am saying it with so much enthusiasm that it is almost impossible. I have done something that my mind has been fighting against, I have done something that I love. Writing gives me the greatest feeling of pleasure and importance. Hopefully one day I will reach my ultimate goal: completing a novel.

I'm sure I will.
