Other Good Stuff

Tell a story - we write to connect with other people, reaching out across space to trade ideas, memories, experience. We hold hands, sit down over coffee, talk on the pillows. The darkness carries our voices and once said, never silenced. Suck the breath, draw out the tear, bring something hidden from the darkness, we write because we refuse to walk quietly into the night.

There is something compulsive in writing, or maybe it's the writers who are compulsive. We sit up all night when we know we have somewhere to be in the morning, our eyes unfocused and our feet swelling. The glow from the screen illuminates our hands in strange shadow, making them look old. Or maybe we do get old here and just don't know it. We write in our heads, we live with our characters, we run and re-run scenes making each harder to get through until we're ready to put it down on paper.

I enjoy hearing from other writers.
