Naked Truth
I am never more naked than I am on a page.

I am never more naked than I am on a page. Most things I write, I wouldn't show a single soul. A handful of people have told me that's silly. You write pretty well, they say, Don't sell yourself short.

Awesome!!! Loving it!!!💖💖💕
I still feel this way. Laying out your thoughts and feelings are paper (or screen) is scary… I’ll stick to cryptids for now.
I was like that when I started, I feel those first ones were terrible. Glad no one read them much. I got better though, I can kind of separate myself from the words. Just let go and write.
This was eye opening for me, I can’t say that I relate in the sense that I’m as leery as you are when publishing pieces. But I definitely feel like I have begun to understand your mind frame and it intrigues me. I really liked the analogies you used in this piece, my favourite one was the wood working gone. It was very original for me, I haven’t heard someone equate their work to a wood worker before! Great work L.C.!
execellent bro
i love this nude L.C., you might this funny a man told me once that as a writer i have to be a good liar. we are a lot of things to ourselves and people see us as a lot of things as well...but it is an imperative above all...
Oh that was excellent! Such a unique take on writing. You know I hadn’t ever thought of it like that. I don’t think I am always like this… but I think I used to be. Not wanting anyone to read my work. At some point I moved past it… but I definitely still keep a lot to myself. And I absolutely do NOT like people reading what I’m writing AS I am writing. In that way I’m similar. But this was amazingly good. The metaphors and comparisons were my favorite, so detailed and spot on. If you write like this, I do hope you continue to share and be alright with others reading and looking because it is definitely worth reading. Subscribing so I can get more!
I loved this because I found it relatable and fresh and raw.
painfully true and relatable. writing's like having an open wound across the chest that gets stretched wider with every word we put into a piece, and cover this well.
That was a beautiful and well very written piece. This line struck me: "For pinning down perfectly like butterflies. Rare ones, common ones, exquisite ones, plain ones."
Well, I will never again start a new piece without the image of "piercing a mind-boil" in my head! Thank you for this "nude shot" and for not giggling at mine. (Except for the funny ones, of course!)
I enjoyed reading this piece, well done! I subscribed to you! I am just starting out and would very much like if you have time to read some of my work and if you like it please subscribe! I look forward to reading more of your work!
Would you believe I close my eyes? Okay. Not possible. One eye? Excellent writing and definitive truths of a writer. Every time I hit submit I feel like I have dropped my pants for the world to evaluate, probe, and rate me. Ahhhh, tis human to be curious isn’t it? Thank you for the brief tour of your bath. I’m enchanted.
What a fabulous essay. You left me with a “just wow” feeling. And this excerpt…perfect: “Fish swim. Moles dig. Sparrows fly. I write.”
Hello my friend. I too have written many things more so for myself than for the eyes of others. These can be unadulterated revelations about myself for myself to really get to know myself. They may not make me a better writer but they go along way towards making me a better person. How would I truely handle a stressful situation? How would I truely feel for instance. It gives you a certain freedom to allow your characters feel a given way. A more honest way I think Thank you for sharing your insights. I gave your piece a well deserved heart
