Eli - a question
I have learned from your posts that you are an artist, evolving right now and seriously studying as fast as you can from masters that you respect...
When you think about this forum and take the time out to spend your carefully budgeted money to connect and comment on its subjects, do you start with
visual images that you translate into words, or is it words-to-stomach-to-keyboard, or another process altogether?
Sincerely yours,
Gypsy Jan

Usually it is a spontenious combustion kind of thing triggerd by somebody's comment that leads me to blow over something that has been cooking in my
brain.
For example, about what to do with the leftover cadavers when we are gone that appeared on the board today; Well, I have thought about that a lot, it
is one of my favorite subjects and something that is always simmering in my thoughts, so it was an easy reply.
In regard to my reply last night to Sally's comment about passing the hat to keep me going. Well, I have been meaning to post something about my "how
poor I am attitude" since for ever, because I knew I was projecting a non existent poverty and I needed to clarify that it is a perspective, not a
reality.
So yesterday evening, I came into this $6 peso an hour internet to post it and sat here with NOTHING COMING OUT, DEAD AIR SPACE, ARGH.
Than I went home to finish what I had of the leftovers from the visit to the market yesterday and well I just couldn't chuck what I was to full to
finish. So I got dressed again, and went out on the street to see if I couldn't find someone to help me out, and that is how I wound up in the high
dollar internet ($10 pesos an hour) writing that little piece.
So, I guess it is words-to-stomach-to-keyboard kind of thing.
I love to write, when I was 17, my dad dropped me off in Coyote Bay with a little typewriter, reams of paper and a great collection of the classics. I
did a lot of reading and dreaming that winter, but I think I only wrote about 1 page, ah well, that was a long time ago.
Also, one must take into account, I spent 15 years writing profesonialy; building contracts, work schedules, detailed specs. and what's going on at
your project to Gringos, although I was always stright, there was a certain amount of creativity involved in "how to explain what happen this time" to
folks, jejeje, ah well, it went welllllll.

Now I know where Don Jimmy placed you--Coyote Bay--with his friends. He told me the story but not the place. Wait long enough and read enough and eve
I can learn something. Cha-ching!
