I'm really enjoying reading some of your prose-style writing even though you've chosen to portray me as a total d-bag. All joking aside, your writing style is unique and engaging. What I have read so far betrays the world-weary ennui of the beat writers without sounding contrived or degenerating into the literary posturing of some fatally cool, uber-hipster like a lot of writers I've known. Good stuff.

I also thought it would be a good dry run in that it's not over & it's only getting better, much like my life. So it's a metaphor in way.<br />I also learned a technique last quarter called the Braided Essay, where you have a few different themes, I like this style because when I get stuck, I can run back into one of my other themes I have going on. I'm more productive this way.<br />Thank you for subscribing, it's this internal deadline that keeps me writing, otherwise I'd just stall all of the time. Find other things to do.<br />Go write yours, let me know.M.

I read me...MC, you're asking my questions here! I read memoirs a lot and still can't figure out how its done. Where do you start? Where do you end when you don't know how it ends? Once you've decided, how do you drop in necessary parts of before and after? <br />Where do you write when something else is begging you not to everywhere you go?<br />And when is it you find the strength in yourself to go to that place and actually do the work?<br />And most importantly, WHOM, by God, are you writing to anyway?<br />I suppose if you can find the time, place, and audience for a blog, you are well on your way. Is it wrong that I can't even commit to doing that? ;)<br />I love how this entry plays out though ... you write about writing, then you write a great anecdote about your band materializing. Then you step out of it for a second, writing about the process again. Then you are right back into the story.<br />It's like your brain is writing and questioning at the same time, one voice having an exchange with another, "I am going to write, but how?" "Like this." "But what about all this other stuff?" "Still writing over here, buddy. Shhh."<br />If you can write like this all the time, and edit out the process-paragraphs, I do believe you'll have yourself a memoir.<br />Now for me to stop rambling and go write mine.<br />P.S. My favorite part is that you end NOT remembering something, which is so perfect and telling of you - much more than the actual name would have been.
