Musings

Just finished reading an interesting article that claims to be about writers... strange, I look at what the author had to say and I see a remarkably insightful piece that applies to the otherkin community as well. And likely many others too. I highly recommend reading it if you have time.

I don't know how often this column updates itself, so for reference I am referring to the March 13th issue of this column.

Addendum: This piece (http://www.squidge.org/~cabs/difference.html), while slightly less direct in its correspondence with our community, strikes me as also being relevant if you translate it to the corresponding issue in the otherkin community of not being able to tell rational discussion or beliefs and polite disagreement or debate from being flamed for what you believe.

The Write Stuff

Have you ever noticed that your writing instruments influence how ready you feel to write? I find this to be the case a lot with me... at times I can't write a word unless I have just the right type of pen with just the right shade of ink, other times I need a 100% all-natural recycled wood pencil to give me the right feeling. Today it seems to be something new... mechanical pencils with colored lead that I saw at Shop Rite while foodshopping. There's something nice about writing with green, purple, pink, and blue 0.7mm pencil lead, in a standard size mechanical pencil. Sort of like the color options of childhood combined with a tool designed for adults... you know?
