This is very interesting, especially considering how closely it runs with what I was writing about in my recent entry. We have been on the same train of thought.
Even more amusing is that reading this made me think about a discussion that Anais Nin had about writing in her journals, the preoccupation with being a writer and a woman, and though writing the thoughts of a woman, she did it with the mind of the writer, always editing that which should not be told, that which did not lend to the story.
She also discusses the rearranging of information to make entries more coherent, something I have done as well. I write for catharsis, I write to chronicle progress and I write because I am a writer. And as a writer, I have an audience. And in their eyes, I see myself reflected, an image that draws me like Narcissus was drawn to the water's edge.
Hence my belief that it is important that one live on as many planes and media as possible. Online, offline, on canvas, in paint, in ink, etc.
