Myself as a writter


What kind of writer am I.  To be honest I don’t see myself as a writer at all.  Do I wish I was, of course. We all wish we could do something we cannot do. Or at least I hope that’s how people feel.  To where do I classify myself as a writer. Well I would have to break it down to what I need to work on I feel to make me a better writer.
I think my biggest problem with my writing is I am full fledge ADHD.  I think we all know what that means.  Basically I have a million wonderful thoughts buzzing in my head.  These thought’s though I cannot get on the paper before I forget or move on to another thought.  SO I think my story sounds ridiculously good in my head but it comes out as a puking of words on the paper.  Every time I proof read I find something else wrong and I’m like what the heck was I thinking there.  The idea at one point in time was probably ten ideas I had at once.  I probably then took that idea and put it in one.  I just can not focus on a topic.  The other main issue I have is my vocabulary is not as wide spread as most.  I don’t need and will never need all these fancy terms to say I’m feeling like crap.  Someone with a broad vocabulary could say that in five different fancy word ways.  Not me.
So you see I really do try and listen to what people tell me but I just cannot get it to click.  I don’t read ever and never really have and maybe that is a lot of my wording problem.  I was never really exposed to a lot of writings.  I am thirty years old and I have not once have had to write an essay or even a poem.  I wish I had time to sit down and just write away but it’s just not me.  I do feel being a good writer is important I am definitely not downing writing at all.  It’s really just not my cup of tea.

  1. What I want is for you to try writing about yourself as a writer in the first person (as you've done here) but also in the second person ("you") and in the third person ("he".) So you're not done with this yet.

    Your frustration comes through clearly here, though I can tell you that you're probably a lot better than you think you are. A certain amount of what you might think of as ADHD is just the mental pain and frustration ALL writers face all the time! True fact!
