The strange thing about writing for me is that I seem to enjoy it and not enjoy it at the same time. I know many authors who say they love to write, how they can't wait to begin writing in a given day, but I seem to lack that kind of energy to get started. And though I do like to get my stories out there for others to read, it frequently feels much more like a chore or busywork rather than something genuinely enjoyable. This is obviously not a useful attitude to have, especially since I'm literally working on a creative writing major, but I can't escape this mindset. Am I just lazy?
>> It does seem fairly strange to me that this is the case. Sometimes I think that I simply shouldn't try to be a creative writer if I don't enjoy the actual act of it and practically have to force myself to do it. I wish I had someone to talk to about it, but sadly I really don't.
>> At the same time, I wish I had something tangible to show for my efforts besides a few short stories and poems. I have a ton of ideas in my head, but I never write them down—not even the worldbuilding.
Connection: They both connect to ideas of vagueness or abstraction within the original post. So on that basis the words also connect to each other. Plus, they all start with an "s", oddly enough.
