I’d love to write some porn…
posted in horrors by catherine“but I don’t know if I have the right engines. When I was a young man and I was tempted to write porn, imaginary parents would appear over my shoulder and read what I was writing; just about the point that I managed to banish the imaginary parents, real children would lean over my shoulder and read what I was writing.”
I’m in love with you.
More specifically, your writing style. It’s like a constant song with an easy rhythm that smoothly transitions from chapter to chapter. The characters guide their readers through a maze of literary journeys. Even your nonsense makes sense to me, and I love, love, love you.
And those who take a moment to notice what I write, notice the 3s.
Yes, the 3s. Threes. I’ve been writing things in 3s because I heard somewhere (and gee, I wonder where) that good things come in 3s.
And we could all use a little more good these days.
horror, horror, horrorrorioblah
There was the idea you could do something by simply doing it.
taurus
Your key planet Venus feels left out of the action now, leaving you with an uncomfortable sense of isolation, even if everything looks good on the surface. With so much other planetary energy buzzing all around you, it’s easy to get distracted, misplacing keys or forgetting an appointment. Take care of business first so you can engage in the fun later on.
cancer
Energetic Mars in your sign receives a high-voltage jolt from Uranus, prompting you to take action. You can translate the power into whatever you do by displaying clear intention and nurturing love. Remember that serving others is a noble path as long as you don’t attempt to control them in the process.
libra
You may not be willing to put up with any nonsense at work today. Your emotional fuse is short and your reaction to other people’s shortcomings could be swift. Keep in mind that your impatience with others might be a result of your own frustration. Expressing what’s in your heart will probably feel great in the moment, but could disrupt your routine. Decide in advance if it will be worth it.
sagittarius
Your key planet Jupiter is making his presence known by making things seem more important than they truly are. A conflict over power may pull you deeper into the feeling realm than is comfortable for you. But be careful about going overboard with optimism especially if you are using it to cover a deeper concern. Seek balance between reckless abandon and cautious responsibility.
pisces
Your feelings are being pleasantly stirred, but the currents could build in strength until they are just too much for you to fight. Instead of attempting to swim off on your own, joining the school of other fish today can fill you with a sense of belonging. You can be part of the group while still maintaining your individuality. Give yourself permission to be a team player without worrying about what you may lose in the process.
I didn’t read these horrors yet but I hope, hope, hope it’s telling me today will be better than yesterday and tomorrow will be better than today. Mm hmm.
one last quick, flip-jack-bit from neil:
They sat on the floor, I had a chair, fifty seven-year-old-eyes gazed up at me. ‘When I was your age, people told me not to make things up,’ I told them. ‘These days, they give me money for it.’ For twenty minutes I talked, then they asked questions.
And eventually one of them asked it.
‘Where do you get your ideas?’
And I realized I owed them an answer. They weren’t old enough to know any better. And it’s a perfectly reasonable question, if you aren’t asked it weekly.
This is what I told them:
You get ideas from daydreaming. You get ideas from being bored. You get ideas all the time. The only difference between writers and other people is we notice when we’re doing it.
You get ideas when you ask yourself simple questions. The most important of the questions is just, What if…?
