I just finished this essay, and I usually have this,"FUCK YES I AM FUCKING AYN RAND THIS IS THE GREATEST THING EVER WRITTEN" feeling, but I finished it up and I'm like,"Cool...I'm done..."
I think I did a good job on the essay, but for some reason I am really thinking about how the teacher will react, especially since it's a free writing activity (We had to write an epilogue as a character from William Faulkner's As I Lay Dying and I once seriously thought of becoming a writer. I don't know, it's a weird feeling.
Any of you felt this?
I never feel like a great writer when I'm done... Only if someone else thinks it's great do I feel good about it
I'm just thankful that I am done with the paper.
Ayn Rand is the shit.
No, usually when I'm done writing one I look over it and think about how retarded I sound.
Do I need to teach Boyah how to write an essay to be proud of?
I hate Faulkner. Everything I've ready by him has bored the fuck out of me.

no, that's what school is for, you're no teacher.
unless you're teaching us how to fuck a guy in the ass, then you might be the expert on that.

Well, I'd need some time to prepare it if that's alright.

Oh my. You're a funny one, aren't you?
I'm usually just like "ok this seems kind of bad but oh well i have about 3 hours until my first class starts so i better get to sleep"

Well I mean I know how to write well, I'm just not usually overly proud about it. I don't really need writing tips, but pointers on how to be proud of it would be nice

mmm, no.
I'm not in the mood to deal with you, so if you don't mind...

Hmmm? Oh, I'd need some time to prepare that too. I could tell you on the spot, but it wouldn't make as much sense as it would if I have some paragraphs made out.
No, not really. At least not for an essay as a whole. Not really because I'm not proud but really just because I don't care about it.
But sometimes I'll come up with a line or an idea that will make me laugh out loud (well, I'll just smile if it's an in-class essay) because I like it so much.
Very rarely do I feel proud of something I wrote before handing it in. I usually only feel good about an essay or poem or whatever after it's been handed in and someone else, like a teacher, is proud of it.
i'm extremely insecure
if I could feel like Ayn Rand after I was done writing something I would be satisfied. She's so amazing... she doesn't waste words, everything belongs. Ahhh
i'm not a good writer.
it doesn't bother me

YES I love when I come up with a fuck awesome idea or something and I pull it off perfectly!

yeah she is awesome
i'm writing an essay right now and i think it sucks and my english teacher will probably think it sucks but that's because she's and unlikeable old bitch

You're saying this about a person who needs
1000+ pages to tell her damn story?

I'm staring at my copy of Anthem right now and it's only like 100+ pages, everything is placed methodically and beautifully like he said

I was referring to Atlas Shrugged and The Foutainhead, her two main novels.
Those seem a bit verbose to me--wouldn't you agree?

I was thinking more Fountainhead when I said that over Atlas Shrugged (though it's still applicable here)
And yes, I am saying that about her... If you just read through it you can see that everything is as it belongs, no chapter or sentence or word is there without purpose.
Um I don't think so.
I love it when I'm writing and somehow spew consecutive great ideas without much thought at all. bassir;
No.... I'm always just happy I have it done on time.

this pretty much happens to me all the time
Usually I'm just happy that I'm finished writing.
Reading is for squares maps;
Yes I have. But usually only after someone else sees it.
The worst is when I think I've done something great, and someone else just puts me down.
I do, but only when I do artwork that takes around 12+ hours. ;____;
The satisfaction of being done with the paper has always totally overshadowed the possibility of it not being good enough.
Yeah, then I get a B or something.
