One of the hardest parts of writing for me is not getting feedback.
I can only write into the void for only so long before I start to get frustrated. I’m all about gratification, and without discussing what I write with someone, writing just isn’t that gratifying.
To complicate matters, I end up spending a lot of time writing about things that I don’t feel comfortable discussing with anyone I know.
I write about relationships and prejudices and psychological aberrance, and these are just not things I’m going to share with a girlfriend, my family or even my close friends.
I don’t even want to admit these things are part of me, and yet they are.
It’s kind of like when you have a problem and you say, “hey, let me ask you a hypothetical question, this friend of mine….” It’s really obvious you’re talking about yourself.
The great irony is that it’s easy to share these deeply personal perversions with strangers.
I guess that’s the whole point of Diaryland. But even here there’s a catch: When you have no readership, you feel like you can write anything, and yet you’re not getting the feedback you crave.
Once you get some readers, you start getting feedback, but then you start to care, and you start writing for the audience, and you start wondering who you’re going to piss off or offend.
