Writing

[avalari]

This is a shit story. Well, a good story, but written badly. I had a lot to say and didnt know how to start it or finish it or what way to write it, but at any rate, this is what came out -

Now I didn't think the story was shitty at all. In fact, I think you got some great imagery in there. I understand this is fiction, but I have to ask that question all writers hate: how much of this comes from personal experience?

:) if you aren't going to tell me about the folds thing, I reserve the right not to answer that. :p

Ah, well... touché.
The "Folds" is just a beautiful line. It is the story in general I can relate to.
BUT, If you have perused my myspace blogs you have probably noticed that I am WWAAYYY to revealing for my own good. I mean it is a great plan if I want to be a monk with a lot of pen pals, but since I don't (want to be a monk that is), I am trying to keep at least some of the things I should never say unsaid! (maybe in a less public forum...but there I go again.)

I guess I plead the 5th, then.

I can only say that I've found it best to go by the idea of writing what you know. (Picking up the trash of your life experiences, dusting it off, tweaking some details and pushing it as more than what it is worth.)
