the dam has broken

Last night, for the first time in a long time, I was able to write. I was rereading The Sun Also Rises and thinking about the whole Lost Generation Theme, along with all the things about Jake's meaningless life and Brett wandering around searching for something that no longer exists, and I just started writing about it. I was babysitting so it was written in a rather cramped script with pencil on old computer paper (not my usual materials shall we say) but it was really really nice. And so therapeudic. I really needed that, just to cleanse my thoughts and stuff. It really bothers me if I'm thinking about something like that and can't put it into words. But last night I did that and it felt fabulous. Hopefully the writer's block will not come back for awhile. Off to run a few errands before picking Kyle up and rocking to the Gatsby's American Dream and the Volcano CD, which by the way is amazing. For all of you Great Gatsby and Lord of the Flies and also rock fans you should most definately get this CD. Tis uhmazing.
