My life is pointless, sometimes I feel like I just want go in the woods and get caught in a storm then die?

I'm not mocked or teased, no. The only thing that I get from friends is frustration from the ones I've shared my writing with. I haven't been writing a lot lately, and they want to see where my current story is going.

BUT.... whenever I say "Me and Annie went to the store..." or something along those lines, I have one friend who corrects me with "Annie and I... I thought you were a writer!?" which always cracks me up. It's probably a little different for a 26 year old vs a teenager, though.

My family doesn't mock me. As a matter of fact, they can be quite supportive from time to time, although they don't really think I'll make it as a writer. My parents are often horrified by the subjects I'm writing about (and then they ask me to read my books.... go figure!).

My sister tends to laugh sometimes, but it's more teasing than mocking. My brothers don't give a damn XD I'm a Croatian grammar nazi and always correct them when they're wrong (but that's because I love them :D ) so they often get annoyed. Meh.

My friends (only people I trust with my manuscripts), on the other hand, are complete opposite. They always support me and read every piece of crap I write, listen to every crappy idea I stick in front of them and give me honest critique. They always ask me when will I try to publish my works.

They even have motivational speeches for me! So I guess they believe in my writing future. Probably even more than myself.

But you know what? I'd be worried if I had everyone's support. I don't know.

It just wouldn't feel very... writery. Phahh that's not even a word! Never mind.

I like it more when there is a flow to swim against, when I know I CAN do it even though not everyone likes it or supports me. That way I know that my motivation is inside me and not caused by what other people say and that I write because I want it and I love it and not because somebody finds it cool or thinks I can or can't do it. I'm not sure if I'm making my point here, but ok :).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
