Untitled document
I really like to write. It’s the thing I do when I am sad, not so much when I am happy. When I am happy there is no need for me to enter my depths. It’s easy for me to write about my feelings, my struggles, to write about me. For anything else, I lack imagination. But no one needs to hear about my problems, people can’t even handle their own. So I guess I should make up a character. A character based on me. But wouldn’t that be boring? Am I interesting enough for other people? Is my life worth reading? For me it is, but is not very different from others. It is actually quite normal. Well normal is relative. But there is always a normal in time and space and so my life is normal in my time and my space. Who in their free time, is going to read about a normal woman? But I guess stories help people escape their life and to walk into someone else’s. So maybe some of you, will want to join me in my story. However, I still need a character. When I think about a female character from a book, I think about Jane Austen’s and Virginia Woolf’s protagonists. These are the complex characters that I respect. I can’t settle for anything less. I can’t write a novel that you find at the gas station for a low price. And that is the problem, I CAN’T. I can’t even write a short story. I can’t really write, I just enjoy it. And she thought she could be the modern Virginia Woolf. Who is a modern Virginia Woolf anyway? Nevertheless, I enjoy puzzling myself. Maybe someday I’ll be the one that wants to go back to some of my stories. I am writing this in google docs, because it’s correcting my spelling, since English is not my mother tongue. I just saw that the title of this document is called Untitled document, which I think is perfect. So for now, at least I have a title. Maybe, next time, uncle Google will help me choose a name for my non existing character.
