I write to keep my demons at bay
darkness descends, I long for day.
Putting my demons on the page
helps me lessen the terrible rage.
The rage within must not get out!

Thank you for following me. I tried to leave a comment on yours and the captcha did me in. i gave up after about 10 times, which is more than I usually do. I usually give up after 2 tries. Thank you for following me. My rage definitely needs a different outlet so I don’t end up with another “vacation.” 🙂

I like this! It has a sort of mantra feel to it. I could imagine someone muttering it as they punch out their next 1,667 words for NaNoWriMo (:

Hmmmm a mantra, how nice, but I think you are right. Thank you! Maybe I should print it out and hang it in front of my computer with my fortune cookie which states: “You are far more talented than you think.” Thank you for stopping by!

It sounds like writing puts you in control of how your emotions are expressed. I think many of us see it that way as well 🙂 Good luck on NaNoWriMo!

Thank you Janna! Writing is one thing that helps keep me grounded. Usually! Life just became too much a few weeks ago and I needed an intervention. I am back on an even keel for the moment. I would like to complete NANOWRIMO one of these years or at least get closer.

Let that rage out but in a controlled way. No one ever really dies on the pages.

I felt that writing is always the soul of oneself. It is the reflection of who we are as a person and how we perceived things in this world. Writing is such a powerful tool that empower one to be.
