your comment on my response made my absolute day- i'm glad that my writing struck a chord in you! your writing is wonderfully theatrical- it captures well the idea of being a conduit for words, rather than the conductor. i understand the feeling of feeling like the words carry you rather than the other way around.

it feels almost religious, in the way one is humbled before divinity, fearful and yet brave enough to do so anyway. it's really hard to write, especially when you feel like what you have to say or how you have to say it isn't good enough. but i, for one, am looking forward to more of your magical writing. ☺

Oh my, I feel overwhelmed! This made my whole week. I squealed with joy as I read it. It means the absolute world to me that you took the time to say what you said. To have my writing be described as magical, theatrical, and almost religious? What a gift you've given me. I'm glad my writing was evocative of something. Thank you thank you thank you!!

Thank you so much! I think a lot about emotional honesty vs literal honesty so i'm glad that part resonated with you :D. One day i might write something longer on the subject cause i think it's super interesting

Your writing for muse is really remarkable. I enjoyed it, and can relate in some ways. I was especially struck by you talking about being your own voyeur.

I stopped thanking people for following me, because I was worried it somehow came off as annoying, but now I feel disconnected from new followers and my gratitude remains unexpressed :,)

Today I read Owl's Roost's new article, "Thoughts on Wanting" and not only did it resonate with me, it also seemed relevant to the character of David from Giovanni's Room :)
I studied to teach college lit, and I think academia lets the thought that some ways of reading are better than others sift through society in a crummy way. Audiobooks are just as valid a delivery method as words on a page. (Sorry! Soapbox!!)
Thank you, I think you’re absolutely right. I voiced my insecurity in an attempt to make myself feel better. But really, listening to writing just works for my brain more than reading. Physically reading, I expend great energy to not get distracted
