You know me best in quiet moments before the storm breaks
when our breath alone tells a thousand stories
here behind walls we hope will hold
against this wrath with no hatred
this assault from one with no enemy
undirected and absolute, chaotic and divine
Here we lie safe for now in the eye of an endless storm
listening to its howling voice, the lonely call
as it drifts across the face of a god
shrouding all beneath from that watchful gaze
so that as it tears itself apart, for only a moment
with eyes averted to the edges of infinity
a deity with the world held fast
might know what it is to be created

I am a much greater fan of writing by hand. The difficulty is then finding the scraps I write on and retyping them online.

I’m similar, keeping a journal by hand but typing things like stories. Cheers (:

I prefer writing by hand for sure. There’s something so calming and satisfying about the sound of the pen, the feel of it as it glides across paper and the smell of the ink 🙂

Writing by hand then transcribing is my favorite method, but I have tried to get better typing my original thoughts on the computer. I have a million notebooks, and I’m trying to transition to online notebooks instead.

Ah, the notebooks piling up can definitely become a problem!

I’ll probably never fully stop writing in notebooks. They’re still more convenient at times, and there’s nothing like flipping through an old notebook. Scrolling on the computer just doesn’t have the same “feel”.

I use a notebook and pen a lot. It is better for catching the quick flashes of inspiration. BTW, I really like this poem.

Thank you! Also I agree, it’s good to always have a notebook on hand in case something needs to be jotted down before it’s forgotten.

I like both for different reasons, but when a computer is available, I almost exclusively type. I edit a lot as I go, and the order in which I write something is almost always different than the order of the finished piece. I find that typing gives me a lot more flexibility to make changes and move things around without cluttering up a page.

That makes sense! Definitely far simpler to transpose whole lengths of something on a screen vs. on paper.
