Perfectly F*Cked up People: Meditations from a Gen X'er (Who Doesn't Know Sh*T) - Matt Hess - Bog

I watched a David Lynch video in my "set-up," while he described his "set-up." I grabbed a pad of paper, and eventually a pen, and I began to write about my "set-up." It immediately evolved into choosing one word from the prior page, then on to the next page to write about that word while highlighting it on the prior page. A stream of consciousness that went on for 131 words until it naturally and beautifully concluded. It took a over six hours. These words were brought forward in the middle of a pandemic, in the middle of the night, early in January 2021, like fluid poured onto the page from nowhere. The meditations have been refined countless times, but the chosen words were from that night. It felt magical. I'm not saying the writing is magical, but the process felt a little out of my hands, like magic feels to an audience. Although, I know it was just me...and the rest of the universe.
