About how love works, what it looks like, how it can be used. I like to apply the laws of conservation to people, actions, and emotions. I like to tell stories about how even something that looks like despair may be winning.<br /><br />Because stories have to be interesting, they are usually about some kind of crisis -- man vs. nature, man vs. man, man vs. self -- and all that jazz. <br /><br />I want to write a quiet story, though. Something that focuses on nature, on inner forces. Hmm. Fecundity and birth. The growth of ideas or fruition of plans. Hmm. Hmm.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=ljgeoff&ditemid=362555" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://ljgeoff.dreamwidth.org/362555.html writing process public 1
