I don't know if I gave up a long time ago or if it just came to a point where I was so jaded that nothing really mattered. I'm honestly not sure why I bother most of the time, but still I do. I may just be too stupid to have figured out that whatever I may do or not, it makes no difference.Ornery Owl of Naughty Netherworld Press and Readers Roost https://www.blogger.com/profile/07596105116325246476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191396899650989619.post-2018124567957323282020-05-31T08:01:57.792-04:002020-05-31T08:01:57.792-04:00Thank you so much, Rosemary 😘 I agree, writing do...Thank you so much, Rosemary 😘 I agree, writing does help keep melancholia at bay, for me it serves as therapy and helps me fight despair.

And the beautiful Ne...Wonderfully well said, Sanaa! And the beautiful Neruda quote seems very fitting. A friend sent me a jokey meme about what we've all supposedly been doing in isolation – true-ish, but exaggerated, and sad beneath the humour. I messaged her back, 'Or else we're writing poems'. I do think we are very lucky to be able to write through all crises and disasters, and that it helps us, and perhaps each other, in keeping the melancholia at bay.Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191396899650989619.post-15834489128528963232020-05-31T00:50:02.326-04:002020-05-31T00:50:02.326-04:00A very thoughtful and eloquent articulation of whe...A very thoughtful and eloquent articulation of where we are this week ... on this planet, Sanaa. These are hard - and complicated - times, As "you put it "bad. Terrifying even". Like most everyone else, I am finding it very hard to cope with one bad-news-day after another. But we carry on with our writing, I believe, because we find something positive ... in the act of creativity ... that is not there ... in its absence. Looking forward to catching up with the Pantry.Wendy Bourkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475940407969993348noreply@blogger.com
