My friend Justice is performing at the next H&T slam, but I'm not sure if he wants me to promote this!<br /><br />I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to the writing. There's stuff I wanna say and then there's stuff I should say and then there's stuff I need to say and then there's stuff I shouldn't say and then finally there is stuff that people would like me to say. By giminy, there's a lot of stuff that could be said.<br /><br />I believe a solution might be to carry on as I have been going but become more conscious of what I'm writing, and trying to be test my motivations for writing it. For stuff that goes beyond this, I might create a similar sort of thing to what you have created and divide that into two parts - creative writing and the sorts of things that I would prefer not to sit in the public domain.<br /><br />It is also important to be aware of readers like my anonymous relative above who drop by. Sometimes what you create no longer becomes your own, that is it becomes important to other people. That is both flattering and humbling.<br /><br />I like your creative writing site. The shit happens story is particularly amusing! Nice to know it's there. I reckon I'll drop by there avery now and again and have a read!<br /><br />I'm going to be in Poland in late April with my little (big - he's not big, he's huge) brother and I'm hoping we'll make it across the border to Prague. If so, I'll drop you a line.<br /><br />I trust your slam preparations are coming together nicely.<br /><br />Cheers<br />Richardrichardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703337004912155626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885866.post-1110268025075495322005-03-08T07:47:00.000+00:002005-03-08T07:47:00.000+00:00Hi Richard,
I understand exactly where you're com...Hi Richard,<br /><br />I understand exactly where you're coming from - I'm going through something similar with my blog. Venue and gig reviews, cultural calendars announcing events involving friends (who I'm happy to promote, btw). All stuff that I find interesting and will hopefully give visitors an idea of what, where and who to check out, but not all that satisfying from a writing perspective.<br /><br />If I want to write more personal and experimental stuff I'll have to start another blog, which I hope to do in the near future. It's something that I've been thinking about for some time, and after reading this post, I reckoned such a blog is way overdue (btw, if you're interested, here's <A HREF="http://www.expats.cz/rash/" REL="nofollow">my first attempt at online journal-keeping and publishing</A>).<br /><br />Anyway, more than enough about me - thanks for the motivation (yes, I find this post motivating :'). FYI, I still check in regularly. I'm looking forward to your next entry...<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />PatrickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885866.post-1110137668274941142005-03-06T19:34:00.000+00:002005-03-06T19:34:00.000+00:00Oooo!

But maybe my father is as hip as I've always hoped.<br /><br />Thank you for the thoughts. No, I haven't stopped. I just need to take some more time with what I write. It's about writing in response to things and not writing because I feel obligated. It's those obligatory thoughts I'm trying to avoid because then I feel I write poorly.richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703337004912155626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885866.post-1110096618003555872005-03-06T08:10:00.000+00:002005-03-06T08:10:00.000+00:00One of your family members drops by regularly to s...One of your family members drops by regularly to see what you have been doing. They appreciate everything you have to say and have been pretty impressed by the way you express yourself. <br /><br />It is good to know what is going on in your life. You have a good eye for what is happening around you and a wicked ability to articulate it. Not surprised you enjoy this poetry slam thing.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
