[stylist] my novel

[vejas]

Atty,
I'm sorry to hear about your loss.
But you don't have to start from scratch exactly.
I know that sounds weird, but see, the thing is, revising it is 
faster because you kind of already have an idea of what you want 
to say, based on what you wrote previously.
I once wrote a 10-paragraph essay.  I was supposed to have 
written 5, but after I finished my Braille note froze up and I 
didn't save the document, but it was faster writing it the second 
time.
It's not the end of the world.

They must be around there somewhere.  Back up?
It's not pointless.  It's your work and that is a
priceless thing which no one can duplicate.

Subject: [stylist] Reflections on Bill's poem and poetry in 
general


Bill and others

Bill- Your poem is one of the types of poetry that I can actually 
follow
from start to finish.  And you know --- as I thought that last 
sentence out,
and am putting the rest of this paragraph together, I am --- 
wondering what
is in my makeup that can make it so that some poetry I can stick 
with and
feel that I can actually understand and perhaps even like? 
Mostly, I just
don't get what poets are getting at! Bill's type of writing 
constructs short
phrases consisting of wording that is for me, clear and it 
doesn't like hurt
my brain to fathom.  In saying that, I mean, I usually cannot
follow-see-understand or like most poetry.  Is it --- like taste, 
as in what
pleasures me? Is it a mind thing, as in that hard-wired ability 
to make
mental connections which end up in the understanding of the 
world? Or is it
a reflection of my world experience; the nature - nurture thing 
and this is
the experience/nurture part of it which makes it so I get or 
cannot get and
like poetry? Like I know there really is a very serious human 
thing in the
assents of the various forms of language be it spoken or sung or 
written ---
and yes, even in those other representative forms, like art as in 
painting,
sculpture, etc.  Yes, I'm wanting to like poetry.

Another thought- to me, most song lyrics are like poetry; more
representative than actual story-line or conversational.  Usually 
it is the
notes that move me, not the words.

.The house is quiet, I sit at the kitchen table, the rain 
patters on the
roof, and I indulge in examination of me and life.
