I've had quite a few people come up to me recently and tell me that my writing has turned to shit (not in those words exactly mind you) and I can't help but agree that my writing has gone way down hill in the last few months. I'm not really sure the cause; obviously if I knew, I'd do everything I could to change it because writing is one of the most important things to me. My first thought is that it could be my excessive alchoholism that's fried my brain and killed my ability to write. Secondly, I used to always write my well written, epic journals while I was fucked up on sleeping pills, which I don't take anymore due to financial reasons. Thirdly, I've just lost my mind a lot more recently, in more serious, subtle ways. I'm going to be purchasing myself some Simply Sleep pills as soon as possible, not just because I can't sleep, but because I want to see if it improves my writing. Another thing is that my two writing inspirations have gone ignored for awhile now, and perhaps that's why my writing style has gone downhill. Kevin Smith's writing style has a giant influence on how I write, so I want to watch Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy and Dogma really soon, and see if any of it rubs off on me. Also, Tycho from Penny Arcade has a unique writing style that I love, which for some reason has stopped rubbing off on me... I think I just need to read his posts more closely and stuff.
