When you're away, I'm restless, lonely, Wretched, bored, dejected; only here's the rub, my darling dear, I feel the same when you're near. ~Samuel Hoffenstein
I second that sentiment. Bored, restless and lonely, I decided to surf for a good quote about it and BINGO! Here I was, thinking about my family and how nice it is when they are around...my parents, Jim, cousins. The temporary uhm...we will call it reprieve from writing that they provide is nice. Once in a while it is nice to have company, people around other than the characters I so lovingly *cough* breathe life into. REAL people talking to me about REAL things, ones that want to hear what is on my mind and care about what is going on with my life. Not just urging me vehemently to tell their story and speak their thoughts. Yet when they go, it is almost like they have opened a void in me. One that at times like this, when I feel so isolated, alone, and far away from the ones that I love...I wish had remained closed.
I love these people so dear to my heart with a PASSION!! BUT..and there is a but, much like the quote
, there are times I find myself LONGING to be elsewhere when they are around. Not VERY often, but it does happen. Anyone who has any creativity in them at all knows what I mean. You just get the URGE to work. You have a brilliant idea and you want to run with it, but you feel obligated to ‘play with others.’ The more time that goes by when you are socializing, the more restless you become. After a long period of time, you seem to go through some sort of writing withdraw. At least I do. After my muses have gone from whispering, to shouting, to tantrums and rage, they sit with their lip curled and a discontented growl. I tend to start to feel much the same way.Writing often seems to me to be a double edged sword. It is a solitary work, that often leaves you spending many hours alone. Maybe you do it so much, you want to be alone, but no one likes to be alone all of the time. I love spending time with loved ones....I guess just not too much. I NEED to write when I get the urge. Lucky for me, they have come to understand this and accept it. It’s not depression that makes me stay holed up for days and cut conversations short, it’s a HUNGER that needs sated. It’s the times they don’t understand, I feel guilted into sitting on a couch pretending to stare at the pictures on the screen though my mind is a million miles away, or nights like now when I WANT someone to talk to that the above quote rings eerily true.
With all of these odd emotions brewing, I think it would be a good time to work some more on Inferno. By most beloved work...my Baby. Inferno is based mainly on Dino Ortolani and OZ. Such a rage-a-holic, Dino is a tormented soul prone to express it through violence. Seems there is only one place for both of us that can truly be called home and not be alone...and that is Angst Anonymous. Like I said, writing is often a double edged sword.
