Drainage!







I managed a paltry 600 words that I'm hoping will end up as the beginning of something big. Unfortunately it took eight hours to come up with that 600 words. When Hemingway said "use the pain", he apparently neglected to mention that in order to tap into it you have to stand at the tenuous precipice and stare into the void that is one's life.

So For the first time I've tried writing from experience in a very personal way. It's unbelievably difficult for me, and I've been putting it off for some time now. It's a draining experience, hence the video. I feel like I'm using myself up to do it, but I'm happy with the result right now. It's not finished, but I think it's some of the most honest writing I've ever done. 600 paltry words, but they mean a lot at this point.
