RE: help me write again!

in #writing7 years ago

Welcome back @glamdoll! So good to see you here =)

I can relate to your struggles with writing. I've long wrestled with the written word and all the presuppositions tangled up in everything, it's paralyzing sometimes. I guess the only antidote I've found is to loosen up and accept that I will never be able to write the truth because the truth is beyond this coarse language. That might sound nihilistic, but I think it's really liberating... for me it frees me from the inner judge, and allows me to produce 'art'... if I think of what I offer as 'art', and not some final word on anything, it's much more liberating. Experimentation and art, rather than trying to pin some ineffable idea to the page. If I take this perspective, it frees me to create. Believe it or not I think this approach also applies to critical thinking and critique or analysis... it's just that you allow yourself to be imperfect in your expression, and for anyone to point that out to you, and just say (write) it better next time. I'm still working on it, but this is my new general theory of unhindered expression.

I think I've just inspired myself a little bit... ;) And your post here was inspiring too! Having a hard time writing, well... write about that experience! :) brilliant! <3 b

Yes yes one million times yes!! You've said it exactly. Looking forward to taking the page as a loose conduit instead of strokes of certainty. Liberation from the absolute is something you've shown me well @lovejoy !
