Difficulties

Hello readers,

I apologize for the lack of posts recently. I've recently made a big move across the world and as of yet I have very little internet access. I'm actually posting this from oy phone right now. Do not fear, I am still motivated as ever, and will do my best to write here.

A benefit of having no internet or tv is that I am free from distractions. Finally I can just read like I always wanted. So far I have almost finished 4 books in less than 2 weeks. Now that I'm reading with a writer's mind I am learning a lot as I read.

I won't deny my writing has slowed a bit. No longer having a computer, I need to teach myself to write with either my kindle fire or oldschool pen and paper. I started a little piece on my personal obsession with perfection that delves into the concept itself, but writing on paper makes me feel almost naked. When written on a computer or kindle it is easy to hide the piece, but I almost feel that the only way to hide a handwritten work is to tear it up. The idea of someone seeing an unfinished piece, especially one so personal, is scary.

Well that is my life as a wannabe writer at the moment. I will continue to keep you informed as things progress.

Thanks for reading,
Scott
