This'll be cringe but fuck, it's what's on my mind. I have started reading On Writing by King and so far it the book is just making me sad. I know he is an extreme outlier but reading about when he was young, knowing that someday he becomes famous, is somewhat depressing. How can you not compare that to your own life? I've done alright with my life but writing is something I really want to achieve something with. Not household name fame but a good bit of recognition. But then I look at how much of my life I've wasted trying other shit. Painting, music, only to give up on those. I hope writing isn't the same. I've already started my first novel over again.....
