8:23<\/p>\n
Staring at the screen in front of me, I find myself at a loss of what to write. The story progresses, in fits and starts as it always has. Things change, plots evolve \u2026 shit happens.<\/p>\n
Authorship seems to be very much the kissing cousin of the curse. A curse will slowly suck you into its tangled tendrils and wrap you in its weave until you find you and it indistinguishable from each other.<\/p>\n
The story wraps around your mind, stealing parts, changing realities and eventually taking over the course of events until the intent no longer matches the reality. A story lies and breathes on its own yet remains powerless without the cooperation of the story teller. Together it grows and expands and hovers always on the edge of chaos. Always on the brink of becoming that which no longer has shape or form or even any discernible meaning.<\/p>\n
Stories, like life, are the hardest thing you will ever do and yet one of the few true things that can guarantee you satisfaction in the end.<\/p>\n
And my son is an magnum opus. The thing I am most proud of and the thing that, very often painfully, encircles my soul like divine geas.<\/p>\n
On this day, I stare at my screen and wonder what to write. I wonder how to the tell the story of my child, my son, of the protagonist who has slowly slipped beyond my pages and grown beyond my imagination. And yet who will never truly be separate from the story of my life, who will always be a greater part of my storyline, and who remains the greatest tale I have ever told.<\/p>\n
And who tells his own story now.<\/p>\n
