"Parts of me are more linen than metal—why can’t I let my writing feel more wrinkled, more frayed?"
Oh Emily! This line! Thank you. My new favorite question...why am I not ok with being wrinkled and more frayed on the page? I already have some ideas where I think I lost this freedom to be me on the page. Excited to see if my pen confirms what ideas or what she reveals....
Water does understand. Thank you for your stories that act as writing and life prompts! I realize that when editing my writing, I *hear* a narrator speaking the words. At one point it clicks sounds right.
In business for emails I now have to ask “how” as in, “How can someone who never reads anything misinterpret this email.” Rampant! 🙂
