The words will come out right, don't think too much. Let them take the wheel, take you for a ride, rip the backspace off your keyboard and ride shotgun for a while. Words need to take a page out of music's book. The keyboards in the land of music preceded that of the computers version so maybe that's how we're supposed to use them. Type like you are composing a song, words should sing, they should cry out, they should echo and reverberate in the skull of another, you want to leave a door open at the back of their mind to that Other World. If they don't do all of that, there is no use for them.
Words are music, as long as we don't hold on too tight. They float and sing and open doors... we just have to choose the right ones. Nice work Shan. Maybe you can send me a copy of your creative myth about electricity? Now that one fairly crackled with life!
“Every once in a while, but not often, you can sit down and write a thing that you know is going to stand people’s hair on end for the rest of their lives- a perfect memory of some kind, like a vision, and you can see the words rolling out of your fingers and bouncing around for a while like wild little jewels before they finally roll into place & line up just exactly like you wanted them to…” - Hunter.S.Thompson
