I am feeling the urge to write a short story. I've never written a short story EVER. Well, besides that compulsory short story for Filipino class when I was in high school (it was crap, by the way), I have not written a short story which I can honestly say I created and which I can be proud of.

I was writing something during vacation, and I was actually delighted with the output I did, but then the inspiration for writing the story suddenly went away. Poof.

Writing is hard. Very, very hard. Even though I am not a creative writer.

I think part of the reason why I find it hard to produce a short story is because I want it to be at par with award-winning ones. Yes, my feelingero urges again. When I write something, I tend to get the feeling that someone's with me as the pen trails down the page, watching, observing my every move, every motion. It's hard. Writing is a solitary act and I know I should write for myself if I really want to see my potential.

If ever I get ideas for a short story, I will do my best to write what I can. Shitty output or no, I will do it. I want to be able to release my creative juices (hopefully I have some). Hopefully I get inspiration, though. It's hard to write without it, otherwise.

Thank you, Captain Obvious.
