week 4: I'm an angry writer

It’s difficult for me to write unless I’m in a writing mood which is usually when I am feeling upset or I have seen something that inspired me to write about. I usually write the most when I am really upset because all of my emotions that I have held up inside of me are coming through me which then translates into my writing. I think I write better when I’m angry because I don’t stop writing to think about it or if this makes sense or not. I just let it all out. The words come easier for me.
On the other hand, if I was writing about something I had to write about it would be harder because I would constantly erase what I wrote and be constantly thinking about how it doesn’t sound quite right. I think I feel this way because when I write when I’m upset the last thing I care about is if it sounds right or not. All I care about is the thing that happened or the things I heard that made me feel this way. It’s not that I like to write when I’m angry, it’s just that when I’m angry I write better because I am so angry I don’t worry about the stuff I’m writing.
I do sometimes get inspired to write when I read what other people have written and after reading it thinking that if they could write like that then maybe I could too. I also like to write when I am bored. It helps me pass the time and when I’m done writing it helps me feel better that I didn’t waste my time watching television.

  1. Im the same way! I have to be inspired or motivated to write otherwise I feel there is no point. Then when I am angry I write down things because a lot of the time I don't want to talk it over with someone. Im also glad im not the only person that writes down something and erases it.. I do that constantly. Good job overall though! (:
