Writing Is Hard, Life Is Harder. · 4:29am Apr 27th, 2018
So real life has been kicking right in the diamond dogs lately, and hard. Facing personal demons and doing my best to come to closer on a lot of deep wounds that have been still left open. For a long time there i couldn't write, or edit, or do much of anything at all thanks to how powerful these wounds were. Truth is though that was my mistake. Writing for me is often times my sword against the demons in my head. If I don't pick up the sword and fight, I'll never win. So a lot of my personal demons have come to life, and subsequent death in words. If you read most of my work you can see it, and perhaps gain a sense of understanding my pain through the themes and metaphors I've used. In the past I've gotten very obsessive, and defensive over my writing because of it's very personal nature to me, however I've taken the good criticism very well as it's helped me to express my heart more clearly on the page. I've been writing actively for a few years now, and I won't ever stop writing for good. Even when life is at its hardest and writing a single word feels like lifting a thousand pound weight, I'll still do it.
Pain might leave scars in the flesh, but creation will build the soul.
