Assigned Blog Post 07 - ???

I wrote something?!

Oh look, it's like 10 pages. That's within the acceptable length. Is it good? Are people going to like it? Would that make it good? Does it make me feel good about it? Does it make me feel good about writing it? Does it make me feel good about having it done? Would that make it good? What does "good" mean?

I know people are going to react to it, at least. For one, it's messed up. Also I've already seen people react to parts of it. Is that what I wanted?

I know I wanted to be different. I know this is definitely different, otherwise I'd have lost faith in humanity a really long time ago. But then again, I'm already different from everyone else, so shouldn't that have been enough?

For me, writing my first short story was like ???. I know, that's pretty ambiguous. And that's the point. I have (had?) pretty much no idea what I was doing when I wrote my story. What I wrote was (hopefully) not some great journey of self discovery. It wasn't even about one. If anything, it was more like a great journey of nonexistent-character-identity discovery for readers. Which means that I had to put myself in their shoes to see if they could actually discover what I had to discover they had to discover?
