Day 295 - Sinking

Not entirely sure how one goes to an amazing concert, by one of their favorite bands for the last 20 years, and leave feeling elated and utterly depressed at the same time. And yet, somehow I managed this odd mix of emotion on monday night, after an incredible Pearl Jam concert.

The main thorn in my ass seems to be the desire to accomplish something great, that moves other people. I'm not picturing crowds screaming in front of me, as I can't sing. Writing could be an outlet, I think I'm decent when I try but being a successful author isn't easy by any means.

Maybe I'm stuck in my teenage years, back in the daydream of wanting to do something of note with my life. I need to just try, despite the voice in my head telling me that everyone goes through this phase, I should just shut up and get in line with my 9-5 and deal with it like everyone else.

  1. I think that we are all capable of creating something great. I just takes some more time than others. I for one have had a story rolling around in my head ever since I read The Amazing Spider-Man #252 back in 84. I just wish I was better about writing stuff down.

  2. Go for it Chris, nothing to lose. And yes, I'll follow my own advice. So if I start writing and a package arrives at your office with a rough draft, you'll give me an honest opinion?

  3. I won't make any promises, but I'll give it my best shot. :)
