i got a letter today. it wasnt addressed to me, but i was fortunate enough to have the author send me a copy.
people need to spend more time writing. there doesnt need to be a destination or a recipient. no need to have a beginning, a climax or a conclusion. misspell words. be dramatically gramatically incorrect. let your sentences run on and on and on....
let your thoughts drive your words. back and forth without rhyme or reason. scattered. or structured. its your mind. and your mind is right. don't edit! there will be no red ink today.
force your thoughts outside of yourself. on paper. on screen. so when you read it back, you can listen. listen to yourself. and maybe find some clarity where before the thoughts were blots. of ink. leaving stains on your mind. and smudges on your inner self.
clean it up. wipe away the smears. write.
the letter i was fortunate enough to read today was beautiful. pure thought. pure writing. and the author, who just days ago had pools of thought flooding his head; his heart; his soul... today seemed completely smudge free. |
