Fiction

That's stream of consciousness writing that appears in a journal discovered by the main character.

It's fiction.

It's not, as some of you so quaintly seem to imagine, a voice in my head.

It's fiction writing.

And some of it is disturbing.

There is light and there is dark and mostly there are both.

I don't always like what I write.

I write.

Where are the brave?

Where are the funny, kind, wise and discerning people in SF?

Even just funny and kind?

Wise and discerning?

How 'bout funny?

Brave?

That grown and smart people repeatedly mistake characters for actual people and fiction for nonfiction continues to amaze me.

Or else they want it to be about them.

They imagine they are being written about or messaged to.

Imagination and writing are of the moment, written with a spirit of experimentation, joy, trying things out.

Some writings soar, some crash.

It happens.

And so it goes.

The dance continues, the game continues--and it is always a dance with the world, with language, with language, with language. The game is the same. With the world and with language.

there are some people you want to talk, joke, sing and dance with. others you would just like to kiss. others you'd just like to sit next to while you both sip lemonade. you could paint with others still. or hug. or watch a movie with them. or read books on opposite ends of the couch. or you could run out into the yard together during a rainstorm. and there are those you would just like to walk with. you could walk far and long together and it would never get dull and only rarely get lonely.

there is a world of hugs. that's next.
