Drown

[rejectomorph]

Another of those rambling, nostalgic posts began spewing itself forth this evening. I haven't time to finish it now, so I've saved it for later completion. Again, I'm reminded how writing is rather like digging a well. Most of the time, you can reach some minimal flow of water if you dig deep enough. Sometimes you come up dry. And other times, it goes all artesian on you, and you drown.

Glug, glug.

hi. just thought it was interesting that you were one of four (including myself) that have tu fu as an interest.

There are four of us now? ::goes to look:: Hey, so there are! I haven't checked the link for Tu Fu in a long time, so I don't know when doingtheunstuck added him as an interest. But, when I began my journal (in June of 2001), there were only fir and myself. It's a bit depressing that the number of LJ users has more than tripled in that time, but the number of us listing Tu Fu has only doubled.

wonderful writing as digging a well analogy - and there are many implications (which is what makes it fun, of course).. writing as searching for water, water as replenishment, cleansing, etc.

thanks for the thought, i will be haunted by waters today.
