Darkness Alert!


So lately people keep on saying that I have a problem since I write dark. What is the problem with that? This one lady told me to go see a psychiatrist because I write too dark. Life isn't about rainbows and unicorns!!!  I'm seriously fed up with people who can't handle dark writing. Some of the greatest writers in the world wrote dark so why is it a problem when it comes to me. I feel like Poppy Z. Brite, Edgar Allan Poe, and Emily Dickinson wrapped in one. Just because I can write darker than you doesn't mean you have to bash me for it and call me insane and crazy.  It’s okay because they will never be like me. This cloud of ignorance has kept me from writing chapter 3 of my novel. People need to understand there are different types of writing styles out there. I'm not going to write about the struggles of life, black people, white people and etc. I'm HERE to write dark things that pop up in my mind. But, I will never blame my life for me writing dark things because I know that a lot of people can't write dark like me. That's okay because the only person that can understand the way I write is me and my other fellow Emily Dickinson’s or Edgar Allan Poe’s. Not to pull on my own leg here but ever since I was about 13 years old my writing has been tossed to the side or ripped up because it was too dark. This one time I wrote about this women getting struck by a bus because karma got the best of her and my teacher circled my paper and put an F- and told me to try again and to lighten things up a bit. So I did I wrote a paper about a cuddly little bunny who got eaten by a bear instead.  People just need to learn how to get off my case about my writing. If I don’t criticize your writing, don’t criticize mine. As the way I see it sometimes is that not a lot of people can write the way I do because of the simple fact that they can’t think of anything dark or gruesome like I can. But, I shall not let this stop me in anyway because I’m going to be writing dark until the day I die and nobody is going to stop me.
