That's the first time I have ever heard someone support me with writing. Reading and writing are my only escape now. But I look at my writing and compare it to their works and see just faliure. I once wrote a short story that was about 70 pages. I read through it but it was just terrible. I hated it so much I deleted it all! I still write very short storys or poems. But they're moslty for me to help vent out my emotions of anger or sadness or just complete despair. Because those are the feelings I have felt the most these past few years.
