I just wanted to say

Ultimately you have to do all your work yourself.

And you have to help other people; because it's easier to let them help you, when you've shown that you can help them.

That way there's some kind of relationship, and you can experience literature, art and poetry, and not just diary writing, or confessions of madness.

Anyone that can read and write can write something meaningful and real and great. And everyone wants to do like that sometimes. And doing that is only meaningful and real and great sometimes. To get closer to being those things most if not all the time, you need to struggle with your attitude to and relationship with art and world literature. Then you have the adventure of struggling with your limits, and carving work right out of the known universe.

After that, you can go on to other "universes".

Billy and rowens have gifted you some gold Cody, insofar as writing goes. You really must do all the groundwork and build on that. Your interest and strong desire to write is a good indicator that you have what it takes to be a good writer, plus some of the very fine pieces you have written here so far. Sometimes you have to dig deep and you have shown you can do that.
