writing through Aquarius
The Sun is leaving Aquarius, and I can say it has been a very good time for my writing, but I might be winding down, or maybe not, it's hard to tell, but I've burnt out on my reviews, partly because the process is draining; I appreciate goodreads for giving me a forume to post my thoughts, and more of an audience than I had before I started blogging on its site, and artistically I like the way they have the covers of the books really small, but I think the website is overly confusing, or at least it confuses me enough, to make for some quasi-aberrant attempts at publication, but Mercury is retrograde, and all things being equal, I've gotten my voice out there. I really liked my "Catcher in the Rye Review," and my "Sound and the Fury," review, and think I hit kind of hit a high point with them that might be hard to top, or to try to top. The moon was in the critical sign of Virgo when I wrote them, and it's not there anymore, and I'm not sure what the future will hold for my reviews. My thought is that I can get my voice out there through them and serve humanity at the same time, a kind of win-win for me.
The bigger literary achievement was writing the story of my childhood, or a significant story of my childhood, more clearly and poetically than I ever had before, and that took about two or three weeks, and will probably be between twenty and forty pages, but long enough to make a dent in the world of literature, especially if it's chapter two of "Keep Your Childhood Memories Locked in a Drawer, Someone Might Steal Them And Ask For More," which is way too long but too perfect, especially as more memories leak out. These reviews are the run-off but I think I needed a run off, because the story wasn't horribly long, and I still had some energy in me, but that's wearing out, I think, and I'm going into a Piscean slumber, I can already feel it, a somnambulistic state.
