I have waited a long time to write this blog. Not because I wouldn’t know what to write in it, I pretty much had this all in my head for a long time now. No, it’s more because I needed the right time to write this. The right mood. The right feeling. Well now here it is. I know it might hurt some people but I don’t care. As an aspiring writer I feel it is my duty to express myself, especially on subjects as blogging and writing per se.
So I was reading through one of my friends’ blogs.
There are several kinds of writing out there. I told you before and I’ll tell you again. There’s shallow, useless writing. There’s political writing, that kind that makes you want to start a movement. There’s personal writing.
This is about shallow writing. Empty writing. The kind of writing that puts me in this mood. Useless writing. You read it and it doesn’t do anything for you. Guess what, „writer“, I don’t want to know what you ate yesterday and what tv show you saw after that, even if it might sound so fucking interesting to you. Nobody wants to know that. If you want to put something out there for your friends, at least give them something they don’t have to pretentd to like. You can talk about your day alright, as long as you come to some kind of conclusion. What does it help me if I know in which kind of evening activity you joined in? Was I there? No. So I couldn’t recall any good memories from it. All I have is your mediocre English and a writing style that makes me want to bring up my breakfast – which was Rise Krispies, if you're interested in any way.
Some people really shouldn’t write things. And if they really have to, the world would be a much happier place if they did it in secret. Go buy yourself a diary with a little cute lock on it. Cause that’s where that shit belongs. Locked up, between oh so cute puppie heads and little hearts.
I guess writing is such a normal activity that anybody can claim to be able to do it.
Putting words after another, easy.
Writing a formal letter when needed, okay.
Expressing your thoughts in a manner that engages the reader? Not so much.
Some people really shouldn’t write.
