i talked to my mother on the phone
she said she missed my voice
and i put her off for several days
but finally i just had to
so we talked for several hours
and then i couldn't go to sleep
or
do anything productive
i'm about to go to bed now
i hope
i'm thrown off
i love you sweetheart
goodnight
oh
and i read her a little of my story
and about a page of lot 49
and
then i made the mistake of asking her something
what does the dream at the beginning tell you about the character
and then i waited
and she's like
are you asking me a question
i can't answer questions
but then she proceeded to tell me
your words flowed really well
it sounded more like a finished work than arough draft
i think the standard accepted way that you are supposed to write is not to edit as you go
you should just be writing not editing
and i'm like that's what i'm doing
that's how my writing comes out
i'm just thinking it out
and planning before i start writing
but i'm not stopping the flow once i start
i don't think
i should have read her any
she reads
and she has always wanted me to write
but idk
it always seems like she doesn't understand me
or doesn't like it or something
anyway
whatever
