Now, THAT's an interesting post, SAWE! Rather zen, I should say. But we do have a title to wonder about and mess with. "Bringing in things you've written." Hmmmmmmm. Sounds to me like we're talking about T. Could be wrong but I smell a journalist bringing journals to T. Or creative writing. Poetry. Stories. Descriptions of subjectivity.

It's a good thing. Bringing in things you've written. My T loves them. Tells me it helps her keep up with what's going on inside my head. Then when I come in I don't sound so cryptic to her. She doesn't have to ask as many questions. Don't look to T for literary criticism, though. Mine at least isn't up to that. She just wants to know what's going on. I usually bring her seven to ten pages of single-spaced journals per week.

What does your T say? How does he/she respond? And what do you bring? Just journal odds-and-ends or more formal stuff? I tried both and then decided I'd prefer to stay with jottings. Yes, it's all over the map and a little bit harder for T to comprehend. But (large but) when you impose any kind of "form" on any kind of narrative you start squeezing things out. Omitting stuff that doesn't fit within the form. Even though it may be true. And I'd rather that what I give to T stays inclusive and not exclusive. She needs to hear it all.

Well, it's interesting answering a blank post. Let us know your thoughts in response. And take care!
