So true! But to bleed, to spill all my guts is not that easy for me, sometimes I recoil at the thought of sharing myself completely. But if one wants to be a writer, one does not have a choice,one must give away pieces of oneself, leaving none, not even crumbs.
@ Jofelyn …..Sadly, good old vultures(readers) are getting extinct. Many a good fleshy bodies left to rot. On the other hand crows are flourishing and they are happy feeding on dead rats and other small rodents.
the easiest thing to do—bleed !
the difficult part—-how to cut open the wound of imagination !
