:: boats and writing ::

I feel like there is this whole other life that happens to me because of writing. Like there are things you'd never know about me if I didn't write them. It made me think about boats and how much is under the water. It always kind of scares me to think about how huge a ship is below the surface, and how much of a person might be there too in the writing realm.

Then (this is not an inspired thought, but came next in the sequence) I thought: they must build ships out of the water. And at some point they must put them IN the water. I would love to be there to see that! Especially those giant box-ships that carry imported cars from Japan to much of middle-class-America's garage. So if anyone is going to a ship-in-the-water ceremony, let me know.
