SO lets get this straight: I'm going to flex my literary muscles and spit into this thing about once a day. But lets not forget that i whisper sweet nothings into the internet's ear when i'm down on my luck and look for a little spice and saliva. So there's that aspect, I guess i'm a real writing now, bumming internet-sex and money. Another is that phrases blow into my mind and I need to write them down before they're gone forever. also i'm writing a character into oblivion, due today at 3 and i'm scared he'll won't have enough substance, so he'll roam the pages and his hands will pass through everything he touches. A few of my other characters, Will and Caroline are corporeal but they're opting for divorce and oh, Mr. Rumen (the proto-ghost)doesn't have a first name. He's post graduate living with his parents and stuck in traffic on his way to the airport, swearing off all non informative literature.

summarily:
you learn artistic techniques to help cover up what you’re not so good at, and maybe that’s where a distinctive style comes from. Because whatever project you’re working on, it’s never going to be perfect, so what makes it your own is how you compensate for its lack of perfection.
