decisive Soma I always waffle back and forth on names when I'm writing. Often, I'm putting in the name of someone I know, writing an embodiment of their memory as it lives in me or was told to me. Othertimes, I'm putting in the name of someone I love or hate, to drive my emotions. But sometimes I feel too vulnerable to leave it the name that it was. Should I change it? Does it feel the same? The name is so personal, perhaps not? Back and forth I go, making one edit then another to test the way it feels in my mind as I speak the words. Inevitably, my inability to be decisive leads to error. Alas. (even more so when I inevitably use my favored M-dash) 240315 what's it to you? who go blather from
