Whoa. Six days since last post. Don't know what happened.
Went to Quiet Lightening reading at the Boxcar Theater on Natoma. Amazing. Eight minute readings with no introductions. Such diverse writing. Inspiring. My friend F. and I are thinking of submitting for the May reading. Scary.
What am I struggling with?
I made some moves since my last post.
My therapist said, "The grown up you is very well resourced now. You have the strength to talk to the child and tell her what you want and need."
It resonated. I talked to the child. I told the child, "Be strong! You know what you want. I'm not going to indulge all your irrational impulses, because by waiting, you will get what you really want."
The child said, "No!! Please!! Give it to me now!!"
I gave her a teaser. "Here," I said. She was happy.
"Now go write a a fucking story."
So I'm writing a fucking story.
