The Human Experience 2I once referred to a creative writing group as a bunch of self-absorbed ego-stroking fools.  I meant every word of it. Let me explain:

Not all people can take criticism well and many cannot take it at all.  Whether we are talking about their writing, their work, their fashion sense, or decisions they make in their love lives, having people say that a choice is wrong or ill conceived is usually taken badly.  I am not a teacher of life but also, I am considerably more than a mere student.  I will start by saying that perfection does not exist.  Not in any subject or in any way.  In finding or creating what we perceive as perfect, we find that
To BelieveTo believe in something
                     is to honour it
       Like friends and peace and sunsets.
            Each alone means little

            than those (mentioned above).
       That doesn't mean they are wrong

       I believe in an individual who has
            his own reality
                and wants so much to share it
                but doesn't know how.

       The individual is me, the friend

               The gap grows to a chasm
               We are both alone
                          on opposite sides
          Look Down.
       
Writing rant"Oh, for a muse of fire” -William Shakespeare, Henry V. Prologue.

There's a story I started working on a number of years ago. I planned it to be my third novel, mostly because the first one I had started writing was meant to be two volumes. Then apathy set in.. It has been a decade of wallowing in the muse of apathy and I have been trying to find ways to get out of the slump. Oddly enough, this third novel has been haunting my dreams for many nights now, trying to force me to write something down.  This rant is supposed to
force me to write about stuff, maybe break my mental block. So here are some thoughts on writing and I suppose mos
