Message of the Ouroboros in 2006 is composing better, tighter writing that is grammatically perfect

Chinese Ouroboros: The Writer's Path of Discipline
Chaos leaves,
peace arrives,
protagonist,
antagonist,
writer mind
strives
for cyclic paragraph
structure,
the primordial
nature of a
story
any genre
allegory.
Sequence of
events,
plot divergence
as opposed to
convergence,
Ouroboros chews
at the writer.
cyclic beginning,
middle, and
ending,
defending
why the characters
have to be.
When we arrive
at the ending,
we will know the
beginning.
As in story, finite
in the sense that
there is no context
before or after,
it is complete
within itself.
Chinese art of
Feng Shui,
thought in terms
of interior design
also provides a map
of the world method
of composing stories,
poems, and
Ouroboros tomes.
Chinese Ouroboros
Chang Dynasty 1200 BC
The Disciplined Writer
in 2006
will compose tighter.
Chaos leaves,
peace arrives.

"grammatically perfect" OMG, where's my valium? ;-)
Seriously, I'm in desperate need of focus to finish one particular project so this I will take to heart. :-) Charge me up! Great penning, Sage. |

Self discipline is a great virtue, and when applied to all areas of our life, including our creative and writing abilities. it brings much reward Sage !
As the Taoist says " We are no styles...but all styles "

| Funny... my tutors have spent a whole year trying to beat the hell outa my FengShui poems, so I hardly equate them with peace at the moment! Ooooo... well this feeds nicely into me control-freak, extravagently policed writing and is just the excuse I'm looking for to go really mad, let it all hang out, and use even more exclamation marks and semi-colons in even shorter, tighter lines. Like Olivia Newton John sewn into her sprayed on Greaselightning poetic pants. Actually, I rather like Sylvia Plath's notion about poetry... that it is like "the glimpse between the opening and the closing of a door"... unless I leave my foot enjambed, reckon I'd be in a state of perpetual lock-out. Very tight here, Sage! Nicely black and white. HNY, LOL K xx |

| I like a bit of chaos. Makes life AND writing exciting and believable. Of course, there is that thought that says, leave sleeping dogs lie. I find myself doing that more and more in these declining years. |

"When we arrive at the ending, we will know the beginning." wise words, as we must journey into the vast unknown, in our writing and in our lives, before we can hope to arrive at any understanding of where it is we have been and where we first came from. like the focus on the writing life here, Sage, and a little less chaos and a little more peace in my own writing would be a welcome reward to discipline.
