100 words a day

[vaneramos]

I completed my first batch of entries at 100words.com: one hundred words every day for a month. It can now be viewed publicly:

100 Words - June 2003 - Silvan

I took the advice of the webmaster and resisted the temptation to read my entries after I had entered them. This evening, reading the entire voyage, I am moved. The tone is consistent. It uncovers my best writer's voice, which is intense and visual.

Tonight I received a kind email from someone happy to see another gay voice contributing to the site.

I hadn't planned on doing it again. But reading what I wrote last month, I think I must continue.

"busy struggling with some basic problems like self-confidence, unemployment and resentment towards my parents"

Item 1, check, item 2, thank goodness no, and hugs, item 3: my lord, I spent YEARS on that, know just how it feels.

"The task of the writer is to get his personality out of the way so the universe can blast something beautiful on the page."

Grin. This may explain why I never felt like a particularly good writer. My personality obsesses me! :)

You are a fine writer, obviously more interested in writing social commentary than literature. There is nothing inferior about that.
