I’m drawn to writing because of the pleasure that arises from the act itself. There are other activities that come with transactional sacrifice–where I trade present discomfort for future gain–but they tend to become cliched and boring, so I like to use writing as a portal into synchronicity, novelty, and possible transcendence. Those may not be the stuff of life, but I have an easy time believing they’re the bedrock of existence.

    1. The musings are my favorite, but I also love the fucked up stuff you say to get people to buy your books.

      100% in agreement. It would be nice if someone else read my output eventually. But even without that the process of writing is transcendent and I will never stop.

  4. Yes, me too. If for any reason, it’s to clear my head and relax.

  9. I kinda feel that way about washing dishes. Instead of letting a machine do it for me, I’ve traded being a hand model for the cleansing meditative state I enter, while scrubbing.

    There’s a scripture about trading beauty for ashes.

    From the ashes a fire shall be woken.

    1. That meditative state is one of the most underrated foundations of life, in my opinion!

    Writing can be defined as our expression of ideas that helps others to think creatively. I couldn’t agree more. ❤️
