hey, if you're interested, I just added a small poem to my poetry page. I don't know how good it is...I don't even know if it's understandable. It took me like two minutes to write and you can probably tell. But I had a line stuck in my head and had to write a poem around it. I do that with poetry, though. That's actually where I came up with the whole "Mind Vomit" concept - because that's just pretty much what I do, when I write. I rarely edit. I end up editing SOME song lyrics, after the fact, for logistical reasons, mainly and because I get sick of singing the same old crap after a while and I say to myself, "You know, these lyrics suck and you need to make some changes or you won't want to sing them at all anymore." Everything else, though, is pretty much left as is. I think this is mainly because I have far too short an attention span to work on things repeatedly. This is why I never outline a project. In my mind, once the outline is done, the story is told and I feel the need to move on. Anyway, if poetry ain't your thang, go back to my previous entry. Hasta! |
