And writing, in its most eloquent manner, since time became a concept indoctrinated by true troglodytes, tickles my dong; it throttles my flume; it punts my epididymus to horizons fantastical. And not just writing bullshit; a few seemingly overused words to describe the belched bark of a goddamn sequoia, but actually writing. Writing to me is not about thinking, it's not about personality traits or hell, even the conveyance of feelings. Writing is like breathing to me. I have to do it. I have to inhale it and exhale it, no matter what comes in and likewise what comes out. Traversing the slopes of the soul, scratching that all but intangible itch, I find solace in the abyss of my complacency. It‟s not for recognition, not for income or monetary satisfaction. None of that really matters to me. The only thing that matters to me is finding the way to transfer a thought to paper; a heartbeat to the surface; a blink and a gasp to submissively correspond with the outcry of tangible suspense.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Dave Matthes" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/dave-matthes/i-fancy-myself-a-writer-and-writing-in-its-most-eloquent-manner-since/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a49/dave-matthes-25447_personality-traits_i-fancy-myself-a-writer-and-writing-in-i_896680.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a49/dave-matthes-25447_personality-traits_i-fancy-myself-a-writer-and-writing-in-i_896680.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a49/dave-matthes-25447_personality-traits_i-fancy-myself-a-writer-and-writing-in-i_896680.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“I fancy myself a writer.
