酷我-北美枫

“I cannot handle it." I put away my pen, my voice burst into the air.
"I could feel that, but…" Mike looked through my eyes with a serious tone. Having being my old friend, a friend knew me like his own shadow. Mike knew how to make me calm. "Jane, you are who you are, as always. I know you can.”
"But, but I sit here for hours, still I cannot write anything." I turned away my face.
"How interesting… Tell me, why you can write poetry?" Mike gently put his hand on my shoulder.
"I don’t know, really. Mike. What I do feel is when I write poetry, I am myself. Yeh...I open myself and listen and write. But each time I try to write a story, I hardly find my own voice, I cannot find any feeling towards it…"
"So, I guess there is another Jane in your head to tell you that you can do it or judge what you try to write. Right? She closes you up and tells you, no, no, Jane, you cannot do it…" Mike said thoughtfully.
"I guess you are right. When I write poetry, I take grant of the poetic license. So I
am at easy and don’t worry about grammars and other crucial standards… but when I start to write a story, Aha! I am like a memory rooter or a brain navigator...try very hard, dig, dig, dig…when some fragment appears, I begin to mark it worthy or not, interesting or not, meaningful or not… eventually no piece is left over to write…Yep! I guess that is the real problem.” I looked up at Mike.
"I agree. I guess you should forget another Jane (Judge Jane), just write whatever you want. Don't be afraid to write. Don't judge. Just write on… Jane, we all know no one can write one draft and succeed. You can always rewrite and revise. Here, use your notebook; or any paper… start to write anything you can. In this way, I think you can train yourself to be comfortable on writing many different subjects."
“I wish. Mike, I will try. By the way, thanks.”

It's a snapshot of the writing process of a struggling writer.

A good try.
