On Writing, Dead Ones, and Plowing the Field

[draconica]

I haven't been posting to draconica for a while, but that isn't because I've died. If I forever stopped posting, though, you wouldn't know the difference for a variety of reasons.

Don't we all post blogs because we want to feel alive? Isn't a paper trail of publications is the only evidence for the wide world that we're living beings with thoughts, feelings, and words to be said? Personally, my habit of posting texts online is a kind of long tail of a fact that when I only began liking writing essays at school, the school was over. My urge to write wasn't over, though, so there we go. Pages upon pages upon pages.

What would you think of a person who likes to write a lot, dear reader? For me, writing is a vehicle; and me, a peasant of word craft, use this vehicle to have a slightest idea of what I think about without being too distracted. Also, it's easier to remember your thoughts when they're written down. What I do arguably more than write is jotting down little drawings. I do this a lot when I'm bored, or when I'm struggling to comprehend something, so I literally connect the dots by arcs and arrows to help me visualize things a bit.

What else do I do a lot? I hum tunes. This is an expression of something entirely different: the songs that play in my head on repeat. I would think about something and the song plays at the same time and it gets so noisy in there I just gotta hum along. Like a peasant of word craft, plowing their field of thought and humming a song to ease their burden.

And after a long month of plowing, I log into my draconica blog to document my experience to have a good old dose of feeling alive, to leave a paper trail of publications.

If I forever stop posting, know that a tune is being hummed somewhere and a field is being plown.

As for the song, I hum way too many songs…
