or lack thereof
I miss writing.
I miss it like plane trips and sea air and cigarettes in March. I miss it like chocolate before diets. I miss the rush in the way I want to live on rollercoasters. I wonder if I've lost IT, and when I'll stop being intimidated by a blank page and a new notebook.
I sometimes wonder if this ELJAY THANG is an entirely positive -- thang. Because it's now hugely easy for me to type out emotions and conflicts and angst -- and there was something to be said for that initial awkwardness of can I transmit my feelings into this unsubstantial and distant textbox? I think I am writing, in itself, more -- and maybe even better, but the purist in me still argues that THIS isn't writing so much as typing, that it's somehow cheating. (Thoughts?) It's more romantic to write stream-of-consciousness out longhand in black ink than to tap it out on white keys, and I've always been a romantic at heart. I'm wondering, I'm curious if now, even against my will, computer > paper.
SO I'M ASKING FOR WRITING PROMPTS. And NON-FANDOMY THINGS TO DRABBLE. As random or silly or scarily-at-the-precipice-deep as you wish. Just dooooo reply.
