Beautiful words. Inspire me to go and take the daily typing routine.

[…] Or, use this time to expunge those baddies as outlined in The Writing Cure. Whatever it is, strap on, because the only way through, is you getting on the keyboard and typing […]

In reply to T Anon. It's these 'shallow dives' that only reveal the shifting sands of the tide, where only ground down fragments have washed ashore. You're right, the rich discoveries are found in deeper waters. But like any dive, your descent should be in stages as your acclimate to the pressure. And for sure, don't ascend too fast or else you'll get the bends!

In reply to madbeemer. And here I read your comment out loud to my wife! Glad these forums have been useful. I'd go with the Monarch, has the metamorphosis feel to it -- like the butterfly. Or perhaps, by defeating all your inner foes, you will be King of your domain! The Monarch! Best wishes on your journey, Daniel

In reply to James DAmbrosio. They do indeed know. Just make sure to burn the evidence!

What an inspirational piece! As a sometimes ‘deep diver’ myself, I know firsthand the soulful transformations it can bring about. I just wish I had the ‘oxygen’ to go deeper still–that’s a continuing challenge that my daily shallow dives hopefully prepare for. But what will we find when ‘diving into the wreck,’ as one famous poet once termed it? Maybe magical creatures, treasure maps . . . even gold! Thanks much, amigo, for your continuing inspired visions.

Dear Daniel. Thank you for The Writing Cure. As soon as I saw it, for some reason I felt it deserved more than a reading. So I read it out loud in an empty living room in a friend’s house where I’m staying.

I’ll sit down at my Hermes 3000 or snappy Remington Monarch now and bang away. Thank you for being an inspiration. Erik Mølbach Hudson, NY

I used to think of myself as a writer, but now I think of myself as a man who lets words tell him what to do since the words dwell in those places where the suckling vampires can’t get to since they are all liars and sworn to lay low any confidence you’ve ever had that you are worth something to the world and yourself. We Word Doers talk it out on paper with our ever patient machines glad to be listening to those voices beyond the reach of the suckling vampires when others talk it out without paper and ink and such machines: There is, indeed, a certain magic only Word Doers can known that seasons those quiet spaces to hallowed places.

More a resurrection than therapy, creating and making words brings us into life anew each and every time, and why we do what words tell us to do.

Because we know that they know.
