Private Thoughts, Private World – Part 2

Incomplete Thoughts

Is there such a thing as a complete thought? When, as writers, do we know our meaning has been entirely understood by our reader?  Is it possible to have entire understanding between two people? After all, there are only so many human experiences, just as there are a limited number of stories, written over and over again from different perspectives. But still, I think not.

It occurred to me that writing a thought is like taking a step. No matter how many times you think you’ve taken your last step, come to the end of your journey, there will always be another step to take until you die. Then all there is left is for someone else to attempt to interpret your life, your steps, your thoughts.

There's a writer in here, clawing her way out.

    Great complete post in my opinion… knowing when to release the thought to the world is a skill that I think helps writers improve. Blogging is a great space for “incomplete thoughts” because you can always go back and edit or delete or create a second part…

    So very true!

    I’m just personally hoping to leave as many words/thoughts as possible behind so that it doesn’t take TOO long for the loved ones I leave behind to discover the things about me that they never found the time to ask me about.
