Under the influence?: (MERGED)

It does feel a lot like it though. If I don't re-write every word at least a thousand times, I don't feel like I had much involvement in what was written, it's just regurgitation. But boy has it held me back.

 

I'm sorry i don' quite understand.. are you running out of words?? one of my foirst poem ended like this..

A limitation of words is restricting,
Like a speechless love.

But writing is my faveoraite medium, for all it's incomparibility..it's just cool. even though in a way, it's crap.!
eg; there are more colours than the ones rypgopb but how is it possible to name a new colour, that is in the sky somewhere...it's not blue, or purple..it's.....

let alone concieve of a whole new colour...

MY GOD SHAKESPEARE WAS A GENIUS!.. lol. we should have athread on...words created through artistic lisence...

 

I can't write sober...which is why i work from home a lot.

 

I understand you. I think. I write ideas under the influence, never a complete work. I love editing and adding to my work while influenced, though. When not sober I'm more in tuned with the senses. So it's an oppurtune time for me to appeal to the senses. And whatever ideas I jot down serve as a guide. I can also relate to the "regurgitation" process. My work is never quiet right. Atleast to me it isn't. And getting A's on papers done under the influence is not unheard of. I've only had one serious teacher, and I made sure to write sober.

 

One time i went to school with some liquor i had left over from the weekend and decided to drink it during lunch, so i did and was completely shitfaced. I then went to my study hall and had to write a paper on the odyssey that was due next period. So i sat down and just wrote without even stopping for 42 minutes and when the bell rang i got up and went to that class and handed it in. The next day he gave me it back and i had gotten an A+ and told me it was the best paper he had seen in a while haha.

Peace and Love,
