Ouch. I gave myself a headache. I spend roughly four or five hours stilling on the couch reading in "Of Other Worlds," a collection of C.S. Lewis' essays on writing and forms of writing coupled with several short stories. I was doing follow-up on "Till We Have Faces." Interesting stuff. He delved so deep in the exploration of the nature of his own experiences. It boggles me to see shapeless impressions I've had formed clearly into words and in some cases logical analogies. Or I'm just rambling philosophically. One of the two.
I'm soon to be out of California. Hurray! I think Michigan is quickly becoming my heart's home, which isn't really a good thing. Or maybe it is. I prefer, I think, not having a home here that I relate and cling to. Particularly in a place where I feel like an outsider. {shrug}
That might be irony! 
To feel like an outsider in the place that you identify in your heart as home while feeling like you belong in a place that your heart is far removed from, as I feel in California. Yeah. I think that is irony. But it makes sense. Especially if you believe that we weren't created for this world to be our home. {shrug}
Anyway . . . have a good day guys!

I think I'm going to have to read "On Stories" again later perhaps to reabsorb. It made me look at writing from a different angle, that's for sure. It felt like the kind of essay they'd have you read in a writing class. Rad!

I've not seen that one. Where did you find it?

It's the first essay in my copy of "Of Other Worlds." It's also the title essay of "On Stories: And Other Essays on Literature."
Dude! I just finished "Out of the Silent Planet." That book rocks! I think it's one of my new favorite book.
