i need a violently structured and detailed outline to feel safe beginning an essay. but i can't for the life of my respect its authority. it can be perfect & brilliant, but i every time i deviate entirely and write in free-flow. i rush in like a city planner- then do a quickchange and am flannery o'conner, clueless of her story's end as she begins it!
i WANT to obey the roman numerals and 1's, 2's 3's but am so stream of consciousness. this is just another manifestation of the Great Big Dichotomy i am. dual nature, yin yang, wah wah wah wah. i'm gonna keep writing now, but figured this reflection belonged on the blog about creative process.
procrasti no more, but i want to be a better citizen in this new land... build strong creative muscles and be less at the whim of my instincts! or at least choose WHEN to be at the whim.
