Writing for me is thinking through a pen and making sense of on paper. It can look like lining my emotions and discovering each one of them. I write to understand and to express.
How I develop a piece:
I pour my heart every time I write; passions and pains. A sweet or sour hour! I write from the heart not the mind. A sour hour is when I call forth from the line, a strong negative emotion like anger, emptiness, frustration, disappointment, hurt, loneliness, etc. A sweet hour is when I call forth light positive emotions like joy, satisfaction, excitement, peace, love, hope, inspiration, etc.
Sweet or sour O'clock?
My favourite hour is the sweetest, I can do away with the sour hour because it always demands more from me, it feels like a stretch. Uncomfortable!
Unpacking,
unmasking,
facing,
feeling and
dealing.
Tough, constant human activity. The sour stuff.
I have discovered that to deal with strong emotions starts with facing and identifying; and that's what makes the healing process difficult. facing and identifying any problem is more emotional than actually solving it. Having to be a bigger person without seeing that coming. Not pleasant. I hate to say this but, like physical stretch is important for flexibility, massive and rapid muscle growth; so is every stretch from life, creates room for growth. More creativity, more knowledge, more insight and as a result better decision making.
A sweet hour is all gratitude, comfort and pleasure. The amazing stuff.
I prefer sweet but I need both.
