I decided against rehashing that shrill.
I have a belief that we change our identity by observing it. I just do not believe I need to spend any more time than necessary in "transitional" funks, particularly if they are hardcore (for me that is).
As for my writing, I drew out a storyboard of 16 chapters, so that I can see where I am going. Got that done and its just more of making it real. Now I can focus on two chapters and send them out to test my mettle against all the other hopefuls, hoping for recognition. I like to think I have a "romantic" mind (in the 19th century sense of - subjective) that is a fighter for adaptation in a postmodern plural existence by hopping from symbol to symbol as bubble after bubble bursts, going from one burst bubble to the next inflating one. I hope I can make it work and that I don't die disappointed.
As a lifestyle, personal reincarnation can leave me wrecked at times. The marriage and "supportive open relationship" bubble both exploded simoultaneously and they were huge crater inducing explosions.
It takes a lot of courage (or foolishness) to enter the next inflating concept of who I am so soon, but I figure there is nothing as big as those previous two bubbles that can explode anytime soon. The only thing to fear is fear itself.
Am I fooling myself with the idea of a new romantic? Has anyone ever pondering this period? I think it is exciting, with its artists, unconventional expressions of love (including condemnation of marriage as slavery or ownership), revolutionaries, awe of the wilderness, and plotting anarchists, all of whom despise the restrictions of the social world then.
Do I have it decently close to the academic version? But what would a new romantic be? It hurts for me to think about it, because it seems like a doomed creature, but then again...that makes it all real.
