so...i've been told (again) that i "have a book in me."
thanks, Universe. i know. there are several, actually.
just gotta figure out which words to focus on first.
in the meantime--while also journaling and scribbling here and there--i'm reading Fruitflesh.
i'm not exactly sure whether i stumbled on Gayle Brandeis' website, or someone pointed me there. but when i noticed it sitting in my amazon wishlist a couple of weeks ago, i figured i'd snatch it up.
typically i don't do well with workshoppy books {i quit too easily}, but this one's different: the kind of book with a texture, scent, feel...it's like instructive poetry. and i'm a sucker for anything sensual. she gets me.
the idea is to read it once straight through, making notes here and there. once i've done that, i'll work through the exercises i like or think will help my process. i'll post some of them here.
next: Stephen King's On Writing. my ex gave it to me years ago, and it's been staring me in the face ever since.
