Imperfect Girl, Volume 1 by NISIOISIN, Mitsuru Hattori
5.0
We as writers, as creators, are fragile creatures.
We often are mentally set apart because our minds venture far away from the status quo whether that be the American dream of working until our hard labors bear moderate fruit or the Japanese ideal of being a respectable and productive member of society. We are divided from the world by our imaginations and our need to share the worlds in a bid to give meaning to what makes us different and most importantly, share what we love.
We want to make everyone feel what we feel.
Some of us have it come easily. Some of us can’t quite grasp it. All of us work tirelessly until our eyes are stressed by the fluorescent lights and our wrists are crippled by carpal tunnel. Some of us get there. Some of us are still trying. None of us ever stop.
However, we all come to that point and time where the resistance is so very strong and we’re either sulking in the idea that we’re not as great as we think we are or why anyone hasn’t recognized out greatness. Most of the time it’s both.
We sit at the precipice surrounded by rejection letters, thinking maybe we should consider a “real job” or worse, those publishing houses/editors/agents are so out of touch they wouldn’t know what talent was. In between that are those who recognize that while this is who we are and who we will always be but are unable to get past the wall of resistance that prevents them from being who they know they are. This is not writer’s block. This is not a lack of ideas.
This… is fear of success…
This… is fear of failure…
This is fear of the unknown
