and it's ok to be cautious re details re yourself if you feel you need it to protect self. sounds like i've talked in a circle! best scenario, write paper. wait a day and re-read. make changes if you feel vulnerable for parts that u wrote. u can edit.
let the enthosiasm shine through tho!  |
thanks j...
talking in circles is ok ...I think in circles....and I wonder that circles don't fit into boxes...?..hehe.
I do enjoy writing and sometimes things get written more or less naturally and the rest of the time it's like mental agony trying to squeeze a thought out of the mountain of jumbled data stored miles high in my head.
....If you replayed footage of a sneeze in slow motion you would see thousands of tiny alphabets coming out of my nose and eyeballs!
writing these essays and journals and many threads and posts I compare it maybe to childbirth and labour pains. I don't know what that feels like allthough I was an active participant at a birth many years ago....the smallest person in the room!....but anyway...
getting words out of my heavily pregnant mind takes so long and even after I am not sure what I've got or if I'm even happy with it?...
...sometimes it's taken me so long to write something on a forum that when I post the damn thing my log-in has lapsed and my post just vanishes and I stare at the screen and just say wow!....check that out!
....unlucky!
I like the idea of looking schoolwork over the next day and see what my subconcious might have dribbled out in the meantime..
