freewriting is exactly what the name implies – you grab an idea out of your head (or someone gives it to you) and you just write. you don’t think about what you’re writing, you don’t evaluate it, you don’t censor it. you just write. what comes out could be personal, insightful, fictional; it could be a poem, a dream, a vision, a conversation. there are no rules and there are no explanations given. it’s a literary braindump. welcome to my dumping grounds.

sometimes i wish i had shoji paper walls. there is so much i hide behind my thick solid structures. i construct bigger, stronger, and more substantial barriers for myself every day. i say it is to protect me – what i have, what i think, what i am. but i think it’s really to keep everyone and everything else out. i’m afraid of what you will really think – if you find out who i really am. and i don’t know if i really want to know who you are, because i’ve got my assumptions and judgments about you – i don’t need you challenging them. your challenge makes me have to rethink and possibly even revamp my view of the world. my view, from my safe little enclosed insulated bomb shelter from the world. then i have to tear down these walls, build windows, build doors, and keep reconfiguring. it’s just too much work!! it’s not that i’m judgmental or bigoted; it’s that i’m lazy!! shoji walls would be much easier to reconfigure.
