Letting go
Reading a book about writing exercises and being told I need to let go of my stresses and allow my mind to lose control in order to write properly. Is this what writing really is? The un-censoring of ourselves, the loss of control over the pen, letting our mind wander and grapple with the big stuff, to let the wild mind take over.
The book is actually really helpful, my mind is largely asleep today but I am managing to keep it going with music and writing exercises, in the hope that I may write something of substance today. And if not today, tomorrow.
It's another dreary weekend and we are nearing the end of term. I have my final lectures this week. Then we're set free for four months of Dissertation writing. This also means this week is the last time I have to be in an institutionalized classroom setting. I am free and independent to write this summer. And when that's over, it's done. I'm an adult. With two degrees. Man.
Time flies.
Also, in other big news, yesterday I missed lunch. For the first time in my entire life. This was a low point for me.
Alas, back to writing.
Happy weekend!
