a quick thought about writing

One more thing. I was thinking about writing today, and why I find it so productive. I always find out a lot about myself when I write. I think it's because you have to be very honest with yourself. Or at least I do. If I am not I will not be able to write, or I will not be able to write something satisfying anyway. If I am avoiding something, even if I don't know it, I will be able to tell because my writing will be contrived. This is why it takes me so long to write.
