I am a writer.1
I write about the things that keep me awake at night. I write about what I see happeneing around me. I write about my fears, my dreams, my world - the one where I belong and where I can't feel ashamed, hurt, embarrassed, betrayed, upset and used by anyone or anything. I write about people who bring me down, just to let out my anger and frustration. I write about people that make me laugh, just so I can always remember how they made me feel. I write about things I can't change in real life, simply because in my world of fiction those things can be changed, I can create happy endings in lands of rainbows and fairy dust. I write about the words and thoughts I'm to scared to tell anyone about. I write about the girl I was, the girl I am and the girl I want to be. I write about how I want things to change. I write about how I'm scared incase things do change and I don't like it. I write about how I wish I had the bravery to run-away. I write about how I put on this front and pretend not to care what people say about me behind my back. I write about how sometimes when I'm doing my schoolwork and I can't understand it - I cry. I write about how my relastionships never work and how its always my fault. I write about drugs and drug-users and how they ruin lives. I write about how sometimes I can't stand to look at myself in the mirror. I wirte about how certain songs make me cry because the remind me of things I'd long ago forgotten. I write about how much my parents bother me with their lack of understanding. I write about what makes me cry, what makes me hurt, what makes me smile and laugh, what makes me angry, what makes me frustrated but most of all I write about what I think.2
My gift to the world as of yet is unknown to me. 3
The way I look at it - I don't own any gifts. I simply have strong personaility traits. 4
One personailty trait I possess is my brutal honesty. I speak whats on my mind when its on my mind. I don't feel guilt if I hurt you're feelings because you did say "be honest". I don't get scared to voice my opinion because opinions are meant to be heard. I have fallen out with people before over my lack of refinement but I don't let it bother me because if I let it get to me I doubt I could live with myself.5
If I had to pick a personaility trait I own to offer up as a gift, I would pick my tendency to be laid back. 6
I don't see the point in letting little things bug you. I don't see the point in stressing over school exams, job interviews, work, children, social situations, intimate situations and so on. 7
My attitude is just chill out, let things fall into place themselves. 8
If it doesn't work out, simply try something else, try a different way, think outside the box, maybe even try something totally different and new because you never know - you might like the change!9
As for a piece I'm working on at the minute? I have a story thats so far three chapters long, its about a girl that on the outside is tough and unbreakable but on the inside is fragile and scared. I don't know where I'm going with it, I want her to fall in love with a guy but does life ever work out that way? So, I guess I'm just working on the plots and storyline. =] 10

No life never really works that way. But I do wish your story plans all the best and if you do have a link for your story feel free to send me it and I will check it out. Thanks for abiding by the rules. Although you did not add them in authors notes you still added them.
I think out of all the entries I have in this contest this was by far the most in depth when it came to what you write about as a writer and everyone at one stage or another could relate to your reasoning. For that I am appreciative.
As the saying goes: Let go, let god. Or if you do not even have a religion Let go- Let live- Take like as it flows.
I fully connect with the brutal honesty. I cannot help who I am. I tend to say things and tell people how I feel, giving my opinion and writing without worry to what people will say. There will always be someone who wants to bring you down, always something in life to drag you down. To be honest is a gift.
Thanks for entering
Good Luck
Blair

Thanks so much for your comment, it really is appreciated!
If I ever get round to writing my story I'd love to get your feedback on it
.
As for being in depth I took you advice and didn't really think about it, I just let it come naturally.
Glad you liked it
