Of course I wondered how my exploration of the rape thematic would be taken, and I'm certain there will be women who are deeply offended by it. And I'm sure there are others who will look at this whole paper and say what a weirdo I am. But I'm really happy I reached you. <BR/><BR/>Second, you really shouldn't be intimidated by what you see here. I know this probably would have intimidated me in the beginning to know there would really be so many stories. It would also be intimidating for me to have to sit down and produce many stories at once (as <A HREF="http://kirwani.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">David</A> did a few times). I can seem to do no better than one a day. I need that time to recharge. And knowing there are so many stories already does tend to intimidate me now. Just don't think all I can say. Think one step at a time as mushroom says. The first 30 or so stories came very easily, after that it became gradually more difficult because I put more pressure on myself), but I stuck with it and am glad I did. Though now I put a really lot of pressure on myself to make stories that "top" the other ones rather than repeat the same themes. That in turn makes it difficult again.<BR/><BR/>Find a few photos that you like, carry the images around with you in your minds eye, wherever you go. If you have a sudden idea, write it down, work it out. Use those moments when the inspiration is there. Then it won't be as difficult.<BR/><BR/>Mushroom: I know you have a different style, but I love to read your captions just the same. They generally are very funny and make me laugh.Indeterminacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11112417911577798263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661194.post-1140754276670647192006-02-23T23:11:00.000-05:002006-02-23T23:11:00.000-05:00Well said, mushroom!

I took VirusWitch’s test and was scored as INFJ, so I know these things. I really admired your writing on fantasy and rape vs. sexual abandon. There is a thin line between the two but you honor us all by addressing it. Very good food for thought here.

If you stand overwhelmed by the monument you find inspirational, you never build anything.<BR/><BR/>Indie: It's inevitable, no artist can make something about someone or something else without their own psyche interweaving at least a little. Even photos aren't accurate to what was there because an artist used his/her style to capture the image (in their opinion) right. It is a good primer post, yes.<BR/><BR/>I find it easier to be snarky or glandular.
