Essay? Now? #$^%

Despite the dismal attitude portrayed in my title I usually don't mind writing, and occasionally do it on my own. I don't usually write for fun, but occasionally write things down to get them out of my system. I don't believe I'm creative enough to write for a living, though I suppose I could write articles or the like. When I'm writing it has to be something that I'm interested in for it to come out well, if not I end up just bs'ing until I achieve the required length. Most of the what I write starts when I find a quote or idea that I like and then I simply talk about it. Whenever the mood strikes me I google "quotes about ____" and pick one that I find interesting and post it on Facebook, along with my thoughts on it.

"Metaphors have a way of holding the most truth in the least space." ~Orson Scott Card

I agree with what is said here, people understand metaphors better than reality, that's why "fiction" gets points across better than documentaries.
