Writing as sorcery
#13
Are you
proposing
that 'sorcery writing' is just the describing of 'seeing', or something
more?)

In
terms of Castaneda's don Juan paradigm, 'sorcery writing' or creative
writing is controlled folly, and I suppose you could use it to stalk
yourself.
Can it also move assemblage
points?

Can it enhance perception or increase
awareness?

Can it further you on
your path?

writing'*


"Don't
try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure
out what you have to say. It's the one and only thing you have to
offer." ~ Barbara Kingsolver



We are all apprentices in a craft where no one ever becomes a master. ~
Ernest Hemingway



The skill of writing is to create a context in which other people can
think. ~ Edwin Schlossberg



If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written
yet, then you must write it. ~ Toni Morrison



Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart. ~ William
Wordsworth



The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the
difference between lightning and a lightning bug. ~ Mark Twain



To me, the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it's about, but the
inner music the words make. ~ Truman Capote



The process of writing has something infinite about it. Even though it
is interrupted each night, it is one single notation. ~ Elias
Canetti



The maker of a sentence launches out into the infinite and builds a road
into Chaos and old Night, and is followed by those who hear him with
something of wild, creative delight. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson



Writing is both mask and unveiling. ~ E.B. White



The writer writes in order to teach himself, to understand himself, to
satisfy himself; the publishing of his ideas, though it brings
gratification, is a curious anticlimax. ~ Alfred Kazin



Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which
ones to keep. ~ Scott Adams



The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense. ~
Tom Clancy



Becoming a writer means being creative enough to find the time and the
place in your life for writing.~ Heather Sellers



Every great and original writer, in proportion as he is great and
original, must himself create the taste by which he is to be relished. ~
William Wordsworth



The muscles of writing are not so visible, but they are just as
powerful: determination, attention, curiosity, a passionate heart.~
Natalie Goldberg

everyone playing their
