JI want to be

Isn't Nancy the coolest? She can just effortlessly write a story
about how small her bladder is and it gets picked story of the week on
my college's website. And she always gets cherry picked on
abctales.com. I've only been cherry picked once. Maybe because I'm not
an English Lit major like she is.

We were just sitting in the Caf at uni, and a couple of days later; I
log on and find our day turned into a story, posted on Thought
Caf?.

When I write, it takes me forever. And I'm never satisfied with what I
write. And I can only write about something that causes me great mental
distress.

I wish I could be like Nancy: so deep and full of poetry. I want to be
a reporter when I graduate too. I want to write about a scar on my
forehead, and then read it out loud at Howard's Cafe. But I would
probably stutter too much. And I don't think the audience would be as
enthusiastic.

I want to write something meaningful when I comment on someone else's
story. Instead of "this is great!", I want to write something more.
Like Nancy does. When Nancy comments on my stories, I feel privileged.
And she always says exactly what I want a person to say after reading
my story.

I want to be a writer, except I'm not good at it. I guess I don't need
an interesting career. My computer science major will get me a good
job. And then at four thirty I can come home from work, put my purse
down and try to write something. But only when I'm emotionally
distressed. Then I'll post my art (I like to believe that I am
artistic) and hope I get some nice comments.

**"I'm never satisfied with what I write." No offence, Menna, I love
your stuff. (Besides, that part and the rest of it is about me)**
