Sometimes I even make art with themes and colors that do not interest me because I made it for a friend. So, it is for an audience that does not include me. So, try not to worry about the dark places you may go with your writing, it is an exercise and an exploration of feeling and Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465583196987100762.post-3665481585854489862008-05-15T09:00:00.000+00:002008-05-15T09:00:00.000+00:00People often confuse phantasy with desire.

Phantasy haunts our DNA, like crows haunt twisty trees. An individual tree may wither and die, but the crows will return to whatever sapling grows to take its place.

It disturbs me that I am so aroused by actions I would never consider doing to one unwilling. That paradox haunts me. <BR/><BR/>We all have skeletons in our closet.

I do believe we are all this way, we all have those dark corners.

So far you have (mainly) shown us your fantasy's (for want of a better term)penumbra. The twilit images, not the utter darkness. I suspect you wonder how your readers would react if you were to give them a glimpse of your deepest, most "shocking" dreams.

Let’s face it. For many of us reality is the place we exist and fantasy is the place we live. The question seems to be whether we wander far a field in our fantasies and the answer I would think is of course we do. Fantasy is a safe place to try on personas that cannot be permitted in reality. In reality there are hard and fast Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
