So, the writing thing - how does it work?

It's kinda hard to explain, but it's got something to do with dreaming, lots of it. Then putting it down in words, remembering to remember the colours, the smells, the look on people's faces.

Today it's about making sense of a large, complicated piece of work, when it would be all to easy to return to something smaller and sweeter from the past. 

Then the past always seems smaller and sweeter, and the future feels too much like a babaroga. It's important to show the babaroga that you're not scared of it!

But babarogas are very very scarey........

  1. But babarogas (I shouldn't give them a capital B should I?!!) don't write - do they?

  2. Interesting point of discussion! Well two actually...I don't know if I would give a babaroga a capital B or even say the word too often.

    Do they write? Hmmm, maybe sometimes. Or maybe they cast a spell and try to stop you from writing, or worse still - jumble up your words so that when you think you've written a poem, it ends up being a math formula instead.

    What do you think?

  3. Or....

    Yes, let's give babaroga a capital B, after all, she plays with the elements, pushes the wind through the trees, whispers in our ear in the dark - then takes out her broom and sweeps it all away.

    If we think Magic also deserves a capital M, perhaps Lady B does too - boo!
