It seems the pages missing from the book address anxiety, something I am all too familiar with. Throughout the reading, I made notes in the margins about the relativity of mindfulness in helping ease any tension or issues discussed. "If only they would be mindful!" I shout to the paper (in my head.)
One phrase that caught my attention was the following:
"How much in control am I?" (in regards to "relying on binges for creativity")
For some reason, I never really considered this 4 chapter Boice process a move towards more controlled writing. It makes sense though. Boice gives us the fence-posts for our poor sheep like minds, and allows us to build the limits that create the most comfort and success as writers with them. It never felt like we were forcing the sheep-like minds, grasping too hard. But that is in fact what Boice has been describing, but not in those words.
It's an interesting perspective for me. I'm interested to see where the rest of the chapter leads us!
Write on, fellow sheeple.
