Blank Likes

Much of what is written is the product of mere effort.

An effect of having sat down with the sole goal of filling a blank page.

Not documenting an epiphany after it is experienced.

Here, wanting something to exist precedes the essence of its existence.

I'm beginning to realize that my life would have been so much easier had I uploaded my #writings to #Ellipsus to have a good #editor review them all and send my #drawings to #Padlet to have a drawing instructor #critique them before doing so much complex #web-design work! Start with the small parts.

[“Ah… again.”
“It’s the Ghost of Athenya!”
“That student has never attended the class so far.”
“True! I heard that no one has ever seen her at all.”
“Does she even exist?”]

For The Hard Of Reading
Some authors write such that reading them is like sitting next to a mumbler in a crowded bar.
You discern the occasional phrase.
But the majority is lost to the general din.
Nevertheless, you persist.
Nod from time to time.
Grin.
Gasp.
Until, all at once, they pause.
Give you pause.
Did they ask a question you didn’t catch?
You know you should admit—
To them—
Yourself—
That you didn’t understand what they said.
Request they repeat themselves.
Yourself, go back over the missed pages.
More often than not, you don’t.
Instead, you smile.
Nod.
Shrug.
The writer continues.
And so do you.
Convinced you’ll pick up the gist in what follows.
Or if you don’t, that this is of no matter.
Because what they asked you—
Of you—
Was of no matter.

Genre-ism

Some write in the style of a particular genre.
It’s possible to read in genre style, too.
Undemandingly.
Ignoring ideas.
Noticing genre tricks and tics only.
Checking off rather than checking in.
Then disparaging the lot.

“Age is just a number” was her mantra,
even as the years stiffened muscle and bone.
Then, she forgot the names of her children.
In the end, she could no longer remember the number.
