Mood: spazzy
Yet another new blog. hoping for some sort of mad inspiration. But not really complacent about it coming. Just write. Write. Write. Write. Yeah. That's it, baby.
Go, go, go. Look like you're doing some fancy ass writing. Writing something that has some earth-shattering consequence. Yeah, baby. Write like the wind. Look busy, like you've discovered the cure for cancer/HIV/common cold/lethargy/and the ennui that living in this ever-hungry, gaping maw of a consumerist society seems to be infected with. Go!
Write as if the world depends on your getting these words down. Don't worry about the mess, the madness, the terrible syntax--you can choose to be the only one who ever reads this. Even if, for a few lines, you've entertained the notion of just slapping this up on a blog. Freewriting blog? How painful for the rare soul who'd stumble across this. But the faint chance that someone, somewhere, may read it can be quite motivating.
Perhaps this is just to prove to myself that I don't have to write well. It's just a draft. It's just a way to get the writing juju going before diving into bigger things.
I don't see this being about anything in particular. In fact, I don't want it to be about anything in particular. Simply the horror of trying to break out of this block I've got against writing. God, I hate writing! And yet, it's the most amazing thing that I know how to do.
Creating worlds that march to my rules. How selfish. How egocentric--and yet--what a healthy way to pretend to be the center of the universe. This way, I hope, I won't subject my family and friends to the unadulterated horror that is my self-centered whining. The wingeing and the whimpering and the howling dissipate into the aether, harming no one.
If you've made it this far (my stupid ego--as if anyone would) my sympathies.
Now go away and do something more productive. Like cutting your toenails.
Cheers.
