>work words are all about discourse, not monologue.

over here, mig is getting into some serious prompting-creativity action. he's decided to not watch telly, or read anything for a whole week.

now, i'm not sure about the rest of the world, but if i didn't anything or watch any telly or read any internet, or listen to any radio, i'd be absolutely un-creative.
i wonder if art galleries and fillums and shows are out as well.

all those things are things that prompt me to write.
especially the reading thing. especially if i'm reading work stuff. i mean, look at the bibliography for the dance stuff i've read over the past week or two. that's like 25 things i've read in a week or two, plus play books of course - so add about 5 more books on there, plus the internet (including a vast array of swing discussion boards for research), plus all sorts of other things.

and i've been writing like a dang fool all week. notes and ideas and emails and discussion board posts and everything.
i find that when i stop sucking up culture from outside-me sources i stop pumping my own words back out.
especially work words.
work words are all about discourse, not monologue.

guess that's why i dig partner dancing and not something like tap... though it's only a matter of time...
