Why Is A Raven Like A Writing Desk?
Sometimes I wish I was a nightowl but then I realize it wouldn't suit my being. It would not support nor perpetuate the workings of my mind and my interests. What would I do instead of drink coffee and jot some notes down? Probably drink alcohol and then write lengthy stream-of-consciousness kind of stuff. That's ideal. However, instead, if I drank, I would talk. Because that's what I do when I drink. Not excessively, but maybe to the level of the average person. Anyway, if I forced myself to write in a state of inebriation, most likely, it would be pithy. But the idea that writing can be done at predawn hours is romantic to me. Just like how cigarettes are (insert hyperlink to blog entry here- note to self when I get on a computer. No I did not drink). And I don't like the idea of day drinking so let's not have that option even available. Unfortunately, yet fortunately, I'm more so a morning person than a night person. This means I may be tired in the morning, but it is not difficult to get out of bed. The tiredness wears off within five minutes. If I had it my way (which I don't because we live in a capitalistic society), I would wake up, make some coffee and breakfast, and begin to write. This is pretty much what I do daily except for the writing part. I tend to write in the early evening or midday, which is my least favorite time of the 24 hour system we use. But why do I write mostly during that time frame? I can't explain. I do confess I have been writing at least once a day in a more private blog or some other diary form. I feel less presumptuous using words and phrases I want to use in the privacy of my own eyes. I wish people could read it but then that may not be fair for the people featured in it. I realized that for a person without skills and talents or explicitly entertaining interests (according to society), writing is all I have to improve on. I'm not looking to be an impressive 24 year old. I'm just looking to satisfy myself even if I were to be mid-list. All this to say, I am writing at 11:59pm but typing on the phone is a pain so I will stop here. As mentioned previously, I rarely proofread my posts. Yes I feel the need to disclaim, but no I will not apologize. This is my territory, after all.
