The root of our evil life...



Nowadays, it is hard to come by people who can write stuff spontaneously. Having references is okay. To construct ideas originally using references as a guideline may be the closest to making something good. But people plagiarise to a point of no return. I have a hard time accepting that.

The standards of creative writing nowadays has reached the very depths of total non-existence. I bet the old-school(ers) would agree to me. It is evident everywhere. Good new writers are
just a handful.

I am not saying that I really do justise when I write, but I can clearly say that I let my mind flow, never planning what I write in any way whatsoever.

I try to follow that in my day to day living as well.

The more you plan and the more you construct, there is a certain goal to achieve. And the goal becomes your ceiling. Sometimes you jump and you may touch it and sometimes you don't.

When you don't have any criterias to adhere to, the world is your canvas. You are liberated from oppression. You don't give a rat's fuck about the end result, as the journey is the point of contentment.

"In a capitalist society, I have no (financial) cushion. When I die, it will probably be in a government hospital. I am a Rebel Without a Pause."

No, this isn't plagiarism, it's called paraphrasing...

I posted a comment, dunno why the heck it didnt appear here.

Anyway. IOTL. Do write more, love the way you write. Usually I'd say more, but today I'm just too stoned from the lack of sleep.

Cheers.

wow, that is a pretty cool idea, living without plans/goals, sort of ad-libbing life, making it up and taking whats there as you go. but, doesn't that contradict itself?
The goal of a goalless life would be to have no goal.the plan is to not plan. Dont get me wrong, i think its a great idea, but the reasong is a little...weird.
Or maybe i'm just over analyzing again and need to shutfuck up and go back stevie ray vaughn albums and eating cheerios at three in the morning.

rosa, i clearly understand what u have in mind but then again, i believe that even if the reasoning and possibilities of 2 perfect strangers appear to be the same, the way they are constructed is absolutely different. A person's situation, environment, upbringing and culture are just a few things to be taken into consideration. i guess my reasoning is about the same....in this situation, what i feel i put it down in words. Substance is secondary.

write to me tell me how you would perceive the situaion and handle it...

do u blog as well?
