Welcome to this new tribe

Good writing walks on its own two feet. It is not a reflection of yourself, but carries its own person, or persona. Persona is a voice that comes on its own...it is a mixture of your experience of others, yourself, or some believe that writers become a sort of channel...with a voice rushing through one from hands to typewriter/pen.

Fragments can bring about persona which I believe the best, "finished" or rather whole writing comes from. We can use these unborn babies for finished stories.

So for now, I'd like to write my daily or weekly fragments. No pressure, no critique, just write about life...internal or external. Some fragments may inspire others, or they may not...

This way, if you have a demanding job...but still want a writing life, you can have both. The small daily efforts (can be only 5 minutes) can turn into a big project, either alone or together.
