Hello again! Thank you for finally posting something here!
I have to profess though - I cannot write on things that do not offer parallel lines for guidance - it ends up messy and nonsensical, looking more like a Jackson Pollock painting than a page of prose.
So much of what I hand write is a personal message to myself, and this sort of thoughtful scrawling is really something that I should do more of.
Re: the music - I don't care, you hit the other key parts of what I envisioned this community to be - to bring handwritten stuff (as opposed to handwriting for hand writing's sake (le art pour le art, anyone?) and that is absolutely fine and golden.
Thank you.
I hoped you'd forgive the music, being such an appreciator of it yourself :) I just saw a great play touching on Pollock (John Logan's Red - really good stuff, albeit more about Rothko than Pollock). I can see where you're coming from - bravo for feeling brave enough to post here what you write to yourself, I don't think I could. I do journal in that sense as well, but less than I would like to, and would feel it's way too personal for the chain in some ways. Absurd? Maybe, since I do write personal stuff anyhow. But I love the idea of this community, so who knows - maybe I'll contribute in that way too in the future :)
As for writing about dreams - big big thing, and well worth it, esp. for a writer. The more you look into them, the more the unconscious gives you to work with. I know it might sound cheeky towards an insomniac, but still I dare :)
Dreams? What are those - I have to get to sleep first!
All writing is too personal in one way or another - especially the sort of topics you and I tend to write about - and on top of that - while it is like peeling back a layer of skin on a personal level, and may feel incredibly vulnerable and raw, I think the reality is that many people tend to not care at all, or see it not as a part of ourselves left in this place.
I want to write a poignant quote or statement about that to sum it up in a sentence, but it is 630AM on a Saturday, and poignant academia sentence structure isn't up and running in my brain yet.
Good morning to the future. It's only just midnight here :) I know what you mean, and alas, I think you may be right. Is it a good or bad thing that so few people care what we have to say? I haven't decided yet.
Good, and bad. Good because that vulnerability is a bit more shrouded and modest - bad - because it feels like the writing will never truly be understood.
