get busy

Ideas mean nothing; all that counts is sentences. And I mean good ones, ones with light in them. Verses, if you're so inclined: same deal. Either/or, then piling them up. That's it, that's all. Sit down and write one, then another, taking notes on the scenes and the sense of the scenes as they unfurl in your mind. Correction: not taking notes. Making the scenes as they unfurl in our mind. That's what guys like Ernest Hemingway knew, that's in fact how he said to do it, and that's your key. For results, your only possible expectation is a pile of pages for you to re-write. That's it, that's all. Religiously commit to your most serious effort and with any luck the trick will work and someone else will be able to see and feel the dream as you've seen it and felt it. But never mind. Get to it: write the sentences. Every day. There's no other way. I'm sorry, but you're screwed, so at least try have fun.
