I am in the midst of writing fiction now. What a process! Doubt, inner turmoil, bursts of creativity, connection with a sense of childlike awe and inspiration, second-guessing, revising, procrastinating -- it is like living another life in different parameters. And indeed, this life often feels like a fiction of its own, an artistic expression of imagination.

My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

oxalic32 said: I wanted to write a book basically called Plant.
In this novel is a plant that can heal everyone of anything (cancer, disease, depression, many problems).
The government discovers it and makes it illegal.
If they find a single gram of Plant on you they will pull you over, handcuff you, and throw you in jail. You then have to go to court.
Many people need the plant to live, but the government will harm them for possessing it.
In the end you find out the plant is weed. And the story is reality. A sad shitty one. The whole idea is the only reason people don't like "weed" is because its "weed". Not because of what it actually is. As the book continues you seem many similarities to what the plant could be, then on the last page you find out its weed.
halfway thru your post i was gonna say "this is about weed isnt it"
u should make it less literal

Well it was a high idea and i didn't want to actually make it and think it through.
But isn't the concept interesting? After all it is true (in my opinion. many states look at weed as having medical merit and the government will go into medical dispensaries and take marijuana away from cancer patients who need it).
