instagramming...

“Throughout history, great philosophical minds have grappled with the nature of identity. What makes a person a person? What combination of memory, history, imagination, experience, subjectivity, genetic substance, and that ineffable thing called soul makes us who we are? Is who we are the same as who we believe ourselves to be?”
Tea and continental biscuits in suburbia this morning while I write. Writing memoir is really hard, because it means constantly dipping back into traumatic memories. It’s remembering not just how you felt in those moments, but what you could see, touch, smell. Writing memoir is such a terrifyingly visceral experience.
My random idea has grown wings and demanded I take it seriously. I’ve never tried to write a novel before. I am very afraid of putting this out there and failing miserably. But I’m even more afraid of being haunted by not writing a story that’s demanding to be told.
