ravenHave just figured out what Vix's lj icon is! Am very happy about it!
Right, going to read Elizabeth Wurtzel's book again. I like it. It is v. cool. Ritalin is an addictive drug. Not really, but she can get addicted to it.
I want to be a journalist. I want to be a journalist and write like her. I love/hate my own style - it's moody and angsty and introspective, which I like, but it's it's much too self-conscious and way too inconsistent/samey, which I hate.
I want to write better, 'cause at the moment my writing sucks. Maybe my mother is right and I'm destined to be a neurologist. I hope not. Cause even sucky writers get to write for sucky newspapers - I just want to write for good newspapers, but my writing has to get a lot better.
Can you teach a person to write better?
