arrogance and words ...

I had to share the following thoughts about being a writer by ‘Three Beautiful Things’ I do find this interesting to me. I don’t have the ‘arrogance’. Interesting too that she compares it to being like a man. I am that quiet girl who wonders if what I have to say it of any importance to anyone out there. This is my experiment and it has become a great therapy for the backflow of words to come rushing out of my system. I do have more sanity…
1. The special kind of arrogance required to be a writer. If I don't have it, I don't believe my work is worth reading and therefore I don't write anything. When it's in full flow words come out of my fingertips and know that what I am saying is fascinating and compelling. I imagine this is what being a man is like.

I do feel her thoughts. I used to keep all my words private. Now I only keep a few words private…

Psst! I do think the author of Three Beautiful Things is a great writer and proven inspiration! No arrogance found.
