Snippets From My Writing
[small sentences & idea projects]
From the growing Google Doc where this blog was born:
A way to keep writing when the mind is both a slap and an unknown and a tangle.
Perhaps the best thing I can do is write about the pain and the joy, be so curious and hold myself so softly and so firmly, and ask myself over and over again: tell me more, tell me more.
It’s a whole other life when you’re writing about yourself, I recommend it. It pulls back the curtain but it also affirms so much, the words becoming sentences and suddenly pages and you realize that
That’s part of the purpose of this blog: to dig in and down and through in order to understand the thoughts and voices in my mind, and also: to cultivate new ones.
(excerpt from 'Where the voices come from')
I like a blog because it is a thousand mirrors into me, into the variances that are Emma every day.
Be inside and within yourself more—stay in those eyes, be in this body, love the seeing and the feeling of it.
The posts aren’t necessarily cohesive / proof that I’m not summarizable. None of us are.
