It creeped me out too 9though I admit I'm easily scared I generally watch Who through two fingers slightly parted...) I hope you can put it out of your mind, but hold on to the lesson.<br /><br />You have hit upon, in what you said at the end, exactly what it means to me to be an artist, and a writer.<br /><br />I didn't even realize I was the former until someone called me that last year- and it's still a title I have trouble applying to myself as I don't feel I've particularly earned it no matter how many people call me by it (though I have seen the reactions people have had to some of my works and it meant the world to me.) But when I paint, my goal is to make the person viewing it feel something- to me otherwise there's no point.<br /><br />With words, it's always been about reaching one mind, one heart, and staying with them. When people have told me they remembered stories I'd written later- thought about them, about the characters, there is nothing that can compare to that. Even if I never get it on a 'huge' scale (i think the 'big machine' would eat me alive) it's the reason I write- to, as you said, connect. I, like you, want them to think about it when they should be sleeping (that was absolutely poetic, by the way. Beautiful.)<br /><br />This post connected with me, and really touched my heart. Thank you for it, and keep on writing.<br /><br />hugs<br />bru<br /><br />(who has to admit she still misses David Tennant.)February Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01078037856070486022noreply@blogger.com
