almost like a rule "deleting is a part of writing" (I'd venture that Hemmingway had more crumpled sheets of paper on his desk than completed pages)

I'm still trying to "find myself" when it comes to what I want to call "online writing without tears and/or regrets". I've come to see persistence of posts as more a downer, yet so much of me wishes it weren't so that I'm perpetually on the verge of trying to give it yet another chance.

So much hope, so little semblance to how it really works.

I think a huge factor is my own inability to avoid becoming obsessed with ideas that I suddenly think everyone else ought be pondering unto championing. Where does that come from? Or sudden obsession with "the absence of an idea", e.g. waxing idyllic about the current mood rooted in circumstances that, together, seem to be begging for expression.

Again, for me, persistence of posts/replies winds up becoming testaments to recurring obsession mania. I so love how the "Bus Stop" site takes care of that. Kind of makes me want to create a counterpart called "Chalkboard", where Javascript magic shows posts about to leave us being slowly erased by a chalkboard erasers.
