The Space Between Words

Dogma

This entry was posted on 7/6/2007 10:34 PM and is filed under Writing process.

I wrote a passage that accidentally got wiped from oblivion, so...here goes another. It's likely that the readers of this blog are close to nil and I may have the occasional eavesdropper from a random google search? On a side note a Webmaster friend puts "naked pictures of Brittney Spears" in the Meta tags to increase his own readership, but I would never stoop so low (heheheh) Ok...I'm a writer who needs to feel the spaces between words in order to feel the flow, so when it comes to academic writing It feels more like I have to force words to paper like Velcro. The rigid dogma of correct syntax makes me feel like E.E Cummings. Shit, sometimes I become weary from too much structure and red markings to correct my misuse of "style” GRRRR.......

Cross my T's and dot my I's please let me banish the grammar police. My summer class is no walk in the park, recently I've had to explore the semiotic analysis of SUV’s, and support my position of why Will & Grace was pivotal for gays. I also began to rethink an English degree.

Please talk back to me. It’s lonely in my blogosphere.....

      It's lonely in my blogosphere as well, know that you have at least one interested reader here. The way you write compels me to do the same. Your insight is amazing. Thanks, from one blogger to another.
      PS - Good luck with your degree.

      My blog suffers from the same thing - perhaps writing blogs are just not that popular? I don't know.

      I found you on some creative writing directory and will keep reading!

      Considering this post is about a year old, I suspect you will never read this comment.
      I am one of those random google-searchers of whom you speak. I was looking to see if there is some technical term for "the space between words", and of course punching this in to google brought me to your above post, which I found to be a nice distraction and, actually, related to what I'm working through in a lit paper I'm currently writing. It discusses the rigid restraint that education and culture places on language and writing. Exciting, huh?
