I'm still in college. And one of the important lessons I finally understood while studying is that although I love to write, I don't enjoy all forms of writing.
Since my bestfriend (and her boyfriend) already knows that I'm a perv, I'll let myself be free and use sex as a metaphor for writing.
1. First, I hate journalism. I don't like news writing, editorial and all those types that has to do with journalism.
It's like a chore. A boring, tedious chore. When I write an article, I felt like I'm slicing and carving out my heart, and forcing my emotions and mind to have sex without having fun. It feels like marital rape, pressing and penetrating me to write and finish writing yet during the process, I never felt any pleasure. I have a commitment to submit an article for publication but I never reached my peak even if I finished one.
2. And, I don't like essays. When I write an essay, it feels that I'm having sex with a partner who doesn't care if I cum or not. I just have to look for and touch his/her spot to satisfy him/her but I'm always left behind. Just like when I write an essay for a class, I'm writing not to be satisfied. I write to satisfy the prof so he/she can give me a good grade. I never achieved pleasure for I'm always worried that if I don't come up with the proper words (or key words), I'll be inadequate as a writer. It's not about me. it's not about my satisfaction. it's always about the prof and the class.
3. Unlike journalism and essays, I enjoy literature and creative writing above all. My mind and heart not only enjoy the coupling, they also let my soul join the fun in a threesome. Needless to say, I find release.
The thought of writing excites me. My interest is aroused every time I thought of an original concept. This is about me. This is mine. This is for me. This is made by me. Words can't grasp and describe the pure pleasure and basic gratification I feel when I write literary pieces. And what's even more pleasurable is when I write poems, novels, short stories and plays and I feel that I'm having sex with a virgin who has a potential to be a great lover. I mean, something original... a concept no one had delved before, and the thought that I'm the only one who can recognize it's creative potential makes me feel that I'm a great lover of literature who can touch on "something" that had never been explored before.
And what's more, only in writing literary pieces can I achieve multiple orgasms which make me sated enough to continue living reality with contentment.

I agree with you all the way!
ReplyDeleteI hate having to write for other people. I hate the due dates. I hate having to be graded. It's like juicing an unripe/dried orange. Writing should be done freely whenever and however we want to do it.
I can't wait to read more blog entries from you.
