Sometimes, actually pretty often, I get this strong feeling of, I want to express myself! I want to write! But when it comes down to it, I don't feel like I have anything to write? What is that all about?
My creative writing teacher has taught us a lot about expectations. Like, what do you expect from your writing? What do others expect? What do you think others expect? What do you hope for? Who do you think you're writing for?
All these questions actually take away from the writing. If you have in mind what you want, then what is supposed to come out of you cannot necessarily. If you're too busy thinking about how you want to make this piece popular in your creative writing course, then you will be too busy trying to fulfill that - a sure way to write a distant, unpopular piece.
You gotta stop trying. You've gotta focus on trying to get into a flow of things.
