There I sit, as my laptop rests in my lap. The screen full of meaningless words, the struggle finally not worth the effort. I put a period and close the screen. Now, the words may never be revealed, but instead be forgotten and left to die in the middle of the cyber world.
There I sit my laptop in my lap, a window full of words on the screen. Then, I hit the period and close it, ending the story, finally freeing my mind. The struggle between me and the words was an epic battle. Now I have overcome.

I'm a Writer

      I am a writer. Every morning I rise at 7 and begin to write. Every night before laying down my pencil I open my notebook and write. Although no one reads what I say, I am still a writer.
I am from West Des Moines Iowa. I went to Valley High school and graduated with about 6-700 other kids. It was at that school, in the crowd that I found my desire. I am not too good at making friends, although I might be if I wanted some, but because of this I spent many nights along writing. I lived the dreams that I could not accomplish through my characters. They did things that I would never have had the heart to do. I write not because I feel like I should, or because I want to be remembered from it. But actually to drain out the voices in my head that give me these characters and give me words that I must write down in order to have my mind back. So am I a writer by choice? That is arguable, but that really doesn’t matter, all that matters is that I am a writer.
