Oh, and I meant to tell you tht I wouldn't be so surprised. I write all the time just because. When I was in high school, it was just what I did. I have notebooks and notebooks filled with the things you're talking about. SOooooo, I can relate. OK, I'm going to bed. ----Original Message Follows---- Date: Wed, 21 Oct 1998 19:10:30 -0700 (PDT) From: Erin McLaughlin <erinseyes@hotmail.com> Subject: Re: Ramblings of Randroids To: bananafish@lists.nyu.edu Reply-to: bananafish@lists.nyu.edu "I myself write often solely for the purpose of writing. you'd be surprised at some of the things you can free your mind to say when you're not trying to say anything."--matt Isn't there an inherent contradiction here? You're purposefully doing something with the aim of doing nothing so that you will end up surprising yourself, and doing something.
