blog confessions
ok, so it's apparent i skipped two days this weekend, a sign of the
impending demise of this project? i've got friends placing bets on when
i'll give it up. thing is, i spend all day working on the computer
anyways, why extend that time? also, other non-computer art forms are
calling me right now, namely the bass guitar laying on my couch. Just
Write was intended to further me along in my writing career/practice,
but right now i'm having other impulses.
but it's all good whatever i choose to do, as long as i do SOMETHING.
As the sculptor Rodin told a young Rainer Maria Rilke-- "You must
always work!" It just doesn't always have to be through a screen....

Paul,
I have no doubt that you will continue to write. I would only recommend to stop writing, if the identification as a "writer" needs to, for a time, be let go for spiritual reasons.
There are a few incredible musicians, that at some point, had to "let go" of their instruments, no matter how much they loved them, to re-orient themselves toward identification with God, rather than identification as "me the musician" or in this case "me the writer".
But as long as yo are temporally identified, you have a strong voice - keep it going.
thanks man, i really appreciate that!

hey Paul,
i don't intend to be a jerk when i say this, but i think you're full of shit. you're a fucking writer, so fucking write! don't give me this shit about being "called" to whack off with your bass. that's bullshit. perhaps it's not, perhaps i don't see the big picture here. but from what i can tell, it looks to me like you are a writer who is afraid to write. how about this: for everyday you miss, you give me fifty bucks.

ps. i just finished reading Deida's Way of the Superior Man, hence the hyper-masculine macho-ness.
