That's a great place to be in - writing despite the not knowing.

How poetic this has been :-) And what a pleasure to read. The writing does have a lot to do with making connections, even beyond other people and ourselves, but making actual connections with the variety of possible ways to express one message. It's a real dance with words (I love dancing too, BTW). Personally, as I've found just today, it's about sharing a story and the story is being handed to me too, unfolding as I write it. Even though I have an outline in mind, I never really know what I'm going to get until it's finished. I love the writing despite the not knowing. .-= Davina´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ShadesOfCrimson/~3/q3qx3wT0occ/" rel="nofollow">Island Thyme Bed & Breakfast</a> =-.

England Wed, 09 Sep 2009 16:21:59 +0000 http://confidentwriting.com/?p=2958#comment-18539 At first I wrote because it was the only way to get the stories to leave me alone. Then I saw the expressions on my friends faces as they read those old stories, and I have to say it's a heady feeling, knowing you can bring joy, sorrow, and thoughtfulness to others. When blogging, I write to share, discuss, and connect. When working on fiction, there are times where I slip into this zone where it feels as if I'm a specter visiting the world I've created, and it's all so <i>real</i>. Then there's the feeling when you've finished a piece you've poured your heart and soul into. It's elation, trepidation, and hope all swirled together as you see it there finally complete on the page. It's addictive. It's vital. It's pure creation. .-= A. B.
