A writer I'm not...

I have never claimed to be a writer.  I have difficulty organizing my thoughts and keeping them coherent and streamlined.  Which, is why I am not a good writer.  I find words to be difficult for me.  I find speaking to be more conducive to conveying sarcasm and joy, than trying to find a way to describe the emotions that allows the reader to "get it," without hearing the intent from my tone.


I am frequently an angry commentator.  I find my first drafts should never, not ever, be published.  It usually takes me all day to find a better way to respond to something I don't like.  You know what I mean, without all the cussing.  And I have a lot of swearing to get out of the way before I can post most things.


My vocabulary is spectacularly limited by anger.  Sad, really.  When all I want to do is to express how something or someone makes me feel.  That first outrage, that first visceral reaction is the most potent and probably far more likely to be entertaining as well.  


Alas, due to my inability to express my anger and outrage, without cursing, I will probably never be able to be a writer.  What a bummer...
