On a personal level - maybe I'm making to much of it ... I consider myself a so so writer knowing I'll never be published on a level of which Buk was, probably never being published at all - I mean, that'd take effort to send out submissions and etc. :)
But this bothered me, and maybe we can discuss this:
"if you first have to read it to your wife
or your girlfriend or your boyfriend
or your parents or to anybody at all,
your not ready."
- From "So you want to be a writer"
Like I said earlier ... I consider myself a halfway decent writer, but I lack the motivation to send out work and In some way I probably fear the rejection that would ensue. So I "print" my work to my blog and to my facebook page and hope that someone gets something out of it.
But now I think Buk is telling me to knock it off. That I'm not ready for it if I'm not ready to take the chance of sending it out ... I don't know ... maybe it's more of the alcohol content then the written content right now :)
Just needed to get that off my chest.
Happy 4th, all.
