Thread: Something for a Sunday...

I’m not sure where the things I’m saying really fit on this site. I guess they could be considered blogging. Yet it is all non-fiction that I’m writing at this moment so they can go either place I guess.
I slipped up the other day. I drank quite a few brews to help fade the remorse of the day. I went into work Friday and couldn’t find my timecard. Talked to the floor manager and he just said, “I don’t have any work for you today so you can just go home.” Odd, I thought.
I take it I don’t have a job anymore so, ya, it hurts a little, so I had a few drinks to numb things for a bit. I was really debating whether or not to get the alcohol in the first place. Even tried to post something on the site asking for some sort of direction, but as karma would have it the site was down for maintenance. I took it as a sign I was on my own. I did what anyone in my situation would do. Found a way to get lost for a moment. Assess things from afar.
Somehow, drinking has changed, evolved, if you will. I no longer have such a desperate need to have it in my system. My writing sense is really taking over as the days’ progress. As I had those brew the other day I just booted up ms word and rambled on until I couldn’t feel a flow anymore. It was good, strangely good. Today, I went out and got a dictionary/thesaurus to put next to my writing desk. I’m very serious about writing. I may be beating a dead horse here but it (writing) is the single thing that has helped me in my loneliest moments, and my happiest. Writing is the one act I never feel is a waste of time.
I really can’t stress enough how much it means to me that I’ve found this place. I’ve never once found a place with such respect and comfortable atmosphere. In closing I call out to my fellow writers.
“The Words Must Flow” –WCB
I guess that quote is a bit of a throwback to the Dune series. “The spice must flow.” I loved that term for some reason, it just caught me in the right place. And that is what I’m building up to, a place and time, an area designated for finding those untapped reservoirs of words bubbling within my minds inkwells. To find my place among the ‘Inkslingers’. Later for a bit, I will be bringing some worthwhile (and edited) material very soon.

Sorry Olly, I know you guys are sticklers for that around here. I noticed it and still let it slip. Oops.

I loved the Dune series, too. "The spice must flow." That can certainly apply to writing, it's addictive and it makes you feel better. A good combination.

Words are all I have to take your heart away.

Words are much better than alcohol.
