compulsion
I read today that you are only a writer when you can't see yourself doing anything else. Even when you work as a waitress or a mechanic or whatever, you still write because that is what you do. You can't imagine anything else coming out of your soul but words. I'm starting to get that. I'm starting to write not because I want to but because I have to. It's what I do. I write.
gotta go, mom's sleepin watching tv and it's difficult to type cause I'm afraid it's too loud.
pax vobiscum!

I also finished Obsession, I know what it is to be under a compulsion. I am under one to create art work. It's what I do, it's who I am, I feel I am no one apart from that, apart from being a child of God and knowing I have been created in His image. It's the way we interact with God, being what He created us to be.
well said anonymous. i agree one hundred percent llegri. that is the way you interact with god. by the way you so sound like lauryn hill in sister act two. you know, when she reads the book by rana marie wilkinson or somethin (its called letters to a poet i think). so im gonna tell you what whoopi told lauryn "im gonna tell you the same thing. if you wake up in the mornin and all you can think about is writin, and all you can think of during the day is writin- then you suppose to be a writer girl- and dont roll your eyes about the ice capades, it was good money..." there. now take that sage advice and run with it llegri. far and fast (from me. i really do have issues, but oh well thats for another blog for another day...lol) mrt
et cum spiritu tuo! - as nobody else has replied to your greeting. ;-)
I know what you mean about this. I write the occasional hymn, and I love putting everything in written form (which, I know can have its dangers). My thoughts, my feelings, information: it just all needs to go down on 'paper' (in which I include word processing software).
I write the occasional hymn, and when I do get inspiration to do this, everything else is put on hold for the day.
This is a wonderful passion - run with it.

for purpose do you write? to express, to enlighten? will you write even if no one reads what comes out of your soul?
I enjoyed the reference to sister act two.
I do write for purpose, but not because my purpose is doing something, That's dangerous to think our chief task in God is to do something. My purpose is God and Who He is, but the purpose lives in my writing like it lives in everything else I do. this need to know Him lives and breathes and paces the depth and breadth of my existance in all things I do and am. What else can I do but express regardless of who's around to hear my overly poetic rants?
