i have seen the seven signs and this is how the world will unfold

[wartimeheroine]

i. the pathos of cholera. when first i watched you kissing her, the other woman, the other half of who you were then, i remember biting my lip and turning jealousy into a moaning reality. underneath your eyelids, warm and damp with nighttime visions, i became covert, i became your guardian! silently i absorbed you with the thawing winter; in time

I take solace in knowing that one day I'll be able to pick up one of your books and say, "Hey, I read her words before you ever did.".

Do you write these in a journal and then transcribe them onto the net? Is there any editing process?

My boss was happy, and I said it was because he knew the world wasn't flat.

i write all day in my head, sometimes (but very rarely) i will scribble a few lines here or there during class. for the most part, i just straighten the words out within myself until i get home and, if i'm compelled to do so, i curl up on the couch with my notebook (that is to say, my laptop) and begin to type in a blank notepad document. you see, livejournal gives me incentive. it's like setting up an audience of your siblings, toy animals and a few friends on your sofa and practicing the piano in front of them. i can make believe the world is listening to the words i say

wow, kelsey. it's gorgeous, you know? i love this.
if your writing doesn't get you far one day, i don't know what i'll do..

[wartimeheroine]

haha, aww. thanks :)

[jetaimemonamour]

beautiful as always, but my favorite would have to be boiling ice, rose pistol. really kelsey. how do you do this?

[wartimeheroine]

mmm. boiling ice, rose pistol came to my mind first. an interesting, honest concept.
& how do i do what? you do the same thing. all i do is put words to the unspeakable.

[lime_love]

your writting inspires me so much!
the imagery you use is amazing.

you're going to get published soon, i hope.
have you ever submitted anything?
you should. you honestly should.

[wartimeheroine]

ah, thank you very much. your comments mean a lot!
& no, i've never submitted anything. i don't know,
i don't think there's an audience outside of livejournal and a few friends that would be accepting of my work.

[lime_love]

oh but i think you're wrong!
there are so many people out there with similar interests and taste as those here on livejournal, reading your work. those who haven't discovered your work, i'm quite posstive, would adore it as much as we all do!
believe me, i work at a book store, and there is some pretty crap-ass stuff that's been published. your work is top of the line, and should have no problem getting published if you were to organize a collection into book form.

and, question ... i think you've said before that you do a zine? how would i go about receiving one? i think you posted your address and some info about it before, but i forgot to write it down.
