The WRITTEN BIT for this WTF episode! Hang tough... We'll get through this...

For today's WTF writing bit, I'm gonna write [a freewrite] in this [notebook. Then I'll type the sucker out on the compooter.] (I don't care if that's a cop-out!) Freewriting (as opposed to trapped writing) can be very enjoyable --- and even theraputic... But can it ALSO be magick? Let's find out together... (Ha!)

I'm not sure if this should be a timed freewrite or a quantity freewrite... (30 minutes or five pages...???) Let's just feel it out.

Deep in the recesses of the Pacific Northwest lives a land outside of time. Surrounded by lush greenery and furry wildlife, the environment is also dotted with cell towers, sattelite antennae, and smoke stacks. (A disgusting mixture of Nature, Technology, and Industrial destruction.)

It pisses Bigfoot off. Of that, we can all be certain... And there certainly aren't enough dance clubs... Huff huff huff...

True horror? False horror?? (Which is worse?)

Spring forward --- Fall back... Last night, we all fell. For an abstract concept (and mathematically unstable quality), TIME sure has a grip on humans. Why do we let arbitrarily defined elements such power over our lives? Is the almighty CONSENSUS REALITY truly worth the mental bondage?

Don't worry about it. Have a sandwich. The U.F.O.s will be here at noon with our new wiffle-ball gear. That's all we've ever really wanted... "We" "Us" "Our" LIES... We all shower alone...

Maybe I need more coffee. Calm calm! Chill mutha-fucka! Skeletons of chickens dance with vigor and verve. (Probably with Glen Miller playing over the HI-FI...)

Witches. Whiches... Wishes. Whispers. ESP. Thirteen o'clock. Who are you??

The hard part about writing, when you are me, is not breaking down into fragments. However, if the essense of writing is actually a form of meditation, then allowing the strictures of LANGUAGE to melt away into pure thought --- or pure nothingness (flip side of that 45) --- might be a successful session...

I don't know... Do you?

Conjure? Contact? Create? Who am I TRULY communicating with here?? ME? What if I'm not home... ???

Window is open again. CONFLICT!! Resolution?

My mind is a black + white, DRIVE-IN movie full of monsters; and cheap, painted backdrops; and bad acting. Ha!! (I love that show.)

Is that enough? Did I fulfill my "writing quota" for the day? Who's to say? (Probably me...) I wrote for about 20 minutes. Sadly, I might be running out of steam... Need to STOKE THE BOILERS!!! What's the best way to do that? Probably different for each writer... I'll try to keep track of which variables help contribute to EXCITING writing days... Jah!
