OK, I'm hating this...

I am not writing at ALL what I want to write. Maybe I'm emptying my brain of a lot of stuff I need to get rid of first, before the good stuff comes. Rebecca Radish speaks of the "essential shit". Everything seems to be coming from a negative, smartass place--maybe this is a defense reaction to the vulnerability of posting everything so fast, unsure of it. Or maybe my inner asshole is just on the rampage.

How is it going for the rest of you?

I hate it too, I've decided. Last year I played around long enough to get one keeper, but this year it's not working for me. I think the main difference is that I've been using prompts and the scribbles sound like they were written to, well, prompts -- depressing. I decided to stop after today's lame attempt. Disheartening, depressing, not fun, too forced, and what the hell to do with this junk? I suppose haul it to the curb.

I'm going to work out in the garden. It's beautiful today.

I'm going to keep going. We'll see.

I just posted. I hate it. I really hate seeing my essential shit though I encourage it in my students. I'm a hypocrite and a liar. But I'm going to keep going.

Like you said, the lid is off. Please keep going. Watch that watched pot boil. (They always do, you know.)
Cheers,
Chris
