Writers Block and Photos
Where does one start a story? I have always found such an endevour to be a problem. I spend so much time thinking about the ending of things, I always seem to miss the moments that could be the start of something. It's the same with writing, usually to the point where I sit a a desk for a couple of hours before deciding to shitcan the whole thing.
When it actually does turn over, like some engine that hasn't seen a road since 1984, I usually grasp at tangents and run until there are a myriad of story driven ribbons trailing behind me. After that it's just a matter of cutting the ribbons. To pick and choose, those which I'll include, and those I'll say were bad ideas. Much like everything else I do.
I believe this is the practice if every human I have ever had the pleasure to meet.
Sitting around trying to convince ourselves we know exactly what we're up to at any given moment. Then you wake up and realize you've been cutting out tangents that could have fit, but because the majority of your life isn't. You didn't.
The only thing that makes this ok? If you do it correctly it can make you feel like you're still on control. But you aren't.
The rules you impose on yourself are.
You may think them too similiar to really effect you in such diametrically opposed ways, but they do.
One will leave you sitting by the sea, thinking of the summer that oould have been, and cursing that one that was. The only recourse? Using a whole year of your youth to plan for next summer.
Well that's the end of that bit. Maybe I'll write something next week, or next summer.
Here's what I did last week.
