Nick's Place: Path to Enlightened Insanity via Defacted Musings: On Writing

Site Masthead: Nick's Place in non-serif white text superimposed over a bright orange high contrast tinted photograph of a brick wall taken in an extreme close up. The brick is photographed with the long continuous lines of grout running vertically. The image is displayed upside-down so the disappearing point for the grout is below the image.

On Writing

The things that I write and speak are large percolating masses of ideas, images, and lines that spin, swirl and ferment in my mind, until they feel an intense need to explode themselves in an uncontrollable urge into electrons, marks on paper, or compression waves in the atmosphere. The things that I write demand that they be written, I do not demand that I write them. (caveat, school papers)
