As long as they are my words.

I could write better. More the way teachers want me to write. Instead, I write my way. My style. Because it feels natural. Good. Comfortable. Sometimes I edit myself. Sometimes, I don’t edit. Just depends. I have mixed feelings about editing. Sometimes, it makes the flow better. Other times, worse. Better to leave well enough alone. I write mostly for pleasure. Makes me feel good. Relaxed. It’s a form of recreation. Almost never feels like work. I pick my own subjects. Out of the thin air. Whatever comes to mind. I love written words. To be able to see thoughts. On paper. Or on a computer screen. Spoken words are too elusive. They disappear. But a written word. Becomes tangible. I can even touch it. Grasp it. My words don’t have to be perfect. Just as long as they are my words. That’s good enough. –Jim Broede
