> I'm so impressed with the ability to write fiction! Where do you get your ideas? I am a writer only inasmuch as I'm an incipient scholar. So non-fiction is my specialty. I do like playing with language, though. Words are wonderful.
my writing is the writing of all young (read inexperienced) writers... a roman a clef, taking parts of my own life and my own observations, and twisting them, changing characters around, making the he a she, removing this, adding that for flavour... the worst of what could happen, the best of what should happen but doesnt...
romanian writer E.M. Cioran once said that "every book is a postponed suicide" he was a bit of a nihilist... really, another book title of his was "The trouble with being born.", anyways, everything that I write is one step closer to understanding my own self, so I try to put a lot of my own feelings in what I write, I'm not a skilled story teller, as I've never finished a story, but I've written much poetry, and I try to infuse a poetic sense into what I do write of fiction... I am very intennt on the description of even the minute details of mundane existance...
> I generally read poetry with an eye for its musicality, its suitability to be set to music. For a short while I was a composer-wannabe. (Actually I started my masters program in composition, but shortly switched to music history.)
my goal is actually to learn music theory, but i dont know when in the world i will do that... i have the desire to compose long and modal pieces that are sparse and minimal like painting with sound... music is another obsession for me...
