Writer's blockage




With six point-something billion people standing on the surface of the world today, you have to have talent, charisma, spunk, and seer luck to obtain success. I have none of those things, yet I do have some ambition, and I am going to milk it dry in order to get a published book. I don't need to sell a million copies or anything, I just have "getting something published" on my bucket list. I want to share my experiences of this journey with you. So whether you are an aspiring writer, someone with a dream, or just someone looking to make fun of others, you came to the right blog, and I welcome you with open arms.

Lets start with some history. I suck at everything. Looking back now, I probably suck at everything due to my father's life goal of repeatedly telling me that I do. However, I have always felt this irresistible sensation in my guts that I am meant to be great, that I have a purpose. Later in life I found out that everyone has that sensation. In elementary school, I was one of those people that loved math, and pretty much hated everything else, especially writing. It wasn't until college that I got my first compliment (kidding.. sort of), when my Composition professor called me up and suggested that I should become a writer. I thought he just ate too much peyote, but still the thought lingered next that irresistible sensation in my gut. I don't want to bore you with the ups and downs of my life, but through the process I have become a very empathetic person, so I'm told. When you put all those things into a boiling pot, and I am not quite sure what you get.

Fast forward to the present. All my other endeavors have completely, and utterly failed, just my father had predicted, so I might as well write a book. I hope you understand a little bit about me and support my efforts by following this blog to see how this adventure goes.

Much Love,
Dark Wolf

  2. Congrats and I relate to your story; though for me it was Mom, and she didn't say the words,"you suck", but she didn't have to. I got the idea. Read the book "Bird by Bird", it is a very helpful and entertaining read for aspiring writers.

  3. One more thing; a suggestion. before you post, read your stuff out loud. You'd notice a couple of errors that you missed by doing this.
    If you feel compelled to be published then just do it till you get it!
