listened to some guy talk about affirmations and being specific with your self talk, labeling etc... like, even though im a crap "writer", its something i aspire to be good at, or at least coherent and valuable in some shape or form. so instead of saying, im trying to learn to write, i should just say, "I am a writer." which, is true i guess, you dont need to be good at something to be that thing. i know a lot of people that suck at what they do, but they still are that thing.
so, i am a writer. cool. i dont think its supposed to be some oprah winfrey secret say it and it'll come true thing, i think its more of a motivation. its part of the journey. anyone good at anything has to work. if i say i am a writer, i will write. i wont take time off, i'll hold myself accountable and over time, i'll get better. maybe not to you, but it'll become easier to me, i cant get worse could i? things happen accidentally or spontaneously. maybe if i make a practice of this, i'll be suprised by where it might lead me.
the squiggly red lines under my misspelled words bothers me. sometimes i correct it, usually, as you can tell, i dont. i just had to fix "misspelled" from "mispelled." anyway that doesnt matter. writing to me should convey intent. yeah if you writing a contract or some legal document it should probably be proper smart english or some hack lawyer will get you off on a technicality. but if im just rambling about random nonsense to fill my daily quota of "being a writer," who cares?
by the way i had to stop my self from swearing probably half a dozen times writing this. so im getting better at that. see? slow incremental progress. soon i wont cuss my bosses out at work anymore.
my mom said omg on the phone today. like she was surprised and said the letters, "OMG". it was wierd, but it made me smile.
ok pimps up hoes down cya tommorow
