Writing

I hate writing.

There. I said it.

When I was younger, I was known as the Writer. People would line up for blocks to hear ... well, maybe not. But everyone knew that I was the one who could write. Everyone else was just running in place, hoping fruitlessly to catch up.

Pressure. I hate it.

So I stopped writing. Stopped with the short stories, with the poems, with the essays. I only wrote when I absolutely had to, and not even then. There were a lot of 2am writing episodes, with Mother forced to complete what I had only begun.

Internet. Anonymity. Maybe it'll work better.

I doubt it.
