spacebar blues

@ 11:20 AM (21 months, 9 hours ago)

I've been struggling ever since I got my new laptop with my spacebar. I'm getting sick and tired of having to go back through all my writing and put spaces where there are none! I'm tired of hitting the submit button on a piece of writng or an email and not realizing hor screwed up it looks on the page.

I submitted a piece for my Creative Nonfiction class. It's funny, when writing creatively, I have no real problem anymore getting several hundred words, but when having to write research, I don't know hhow to get much out in the way of academic prose. It's killing me. I find that the more I learn in school, the less Ican say I truly know. My writing teacher says, "Well isn't it great?" I said NO! I'm paying upwards of forty thousand dollars to prove I know something! I can't get everything that's in this brain of mine onto the page to save my soul! I can't stand it!

I started this blog with hopes that it would foster in me the ability to write no matter what my situation is looking like. I figure if I do this enough, then suddenly something might click in the future and I will be adamantly dependant on the actualy writing process, that maybe I'll just find myself writing and publishing as a way of life...creatively.
