It took me fifteen years to discover that I had no talent for writing, but I couldn't give it up because by that time I was too famous.

(c) Robert Benchley (1889 - 1945)




The first time I wrote something good was... I can't actually remember what it was. Probably it had something to do with opinion writing for this was the thing that always facinated me. A long long time ago I used to write little stories everyday. It is fun to re-read them now. They never failed to make me laugh. But going back to the first thing I ever wrote. I truly enjoyed the results of my writing, but not the process. Where is the fun in taking a pen and putting down some letters and words? It is even worse with a keyboard. I just can't put myself to it. It is mainly up to other people. Rarely, very rarely, I decide to write myself. It usually happens when I am gravely affected by something. In those times I just sit down and don't get up until I'm finished, otherwise the unity is ruined. As to the quality of my writing... Well it could have been a lot better.



Sorry for the English. I don't have a russian keyboard around.
