I don't know the pain of withdrawal because I have not been an addict.

I not sure writing is my destiny, I...Hiya BMelons,<br /><br />I not sure writing is my destiny, I think a common grave and a handful of worms is that. But it's important, and in a certain way when people really get off on ones words it is similar to the stardom one sometimes searches through heroin... some kind of recognition for who you are.<br /><br />I think that good writing has more to do with the eyes and ears than anything else. That doesn't change whether one is straight or sideways. Some of my greatest observations have come while I was flat on my back. So I think if you're writing great stuff now then you was a great writer anyway, and maybe heroin was only imposing upon your time and concentration. I also think that what you lose in time with opiates you gain in other things, so there's no real loss there, just an equation much like anything else.<br /><br />Good luck with your book, and thanks so much for your words.<br /><br />All My Thoughts, Shane. xMemoirs of a Heroinheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17401281805284793756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9193316819499446317.post-83727440411329891192010-09-02T10:25:24.457+02:002010-09-02T10:25:24.457+02:00Hiya SB,

It is our destiny. It is what keeps our blood pumping through our veins. I was a heroin addict for ten years, and the whole time I managed to convince myself that I was still writing. Tradgedy and a deluge of water forced me to get clean, kicking and screaming much of those early months. Now that I have been clean for almost five years, I can honestly say my writing is the best it has ever been. I once srtuggled with endings and transitions, now they just pour out of me like my life blood falling onto the page. Now I can get into this writing trance, where my nerve endings are tingling with the writing and my spine is electric with ideas. I am working on a book, the story of my addiction and Hurricane Katrina, which is rapidly becoming a fucking reality. I have been talking about my book for years, but now the deluge has once again become forceful...and a book is quickly emerging. It is magical. It is organic. It is much like getting high, but of course not quite that intense. I recently had a few pieces published, and the feeling when an editor tells you work is really good is unlike any other feeling I can describe. My heart jumping in my chest, as my ecstatic mind is spinning with thought and possibility...and I thought for those first few minutes following my overwhelming acceptance that I was high again. It was amazing. Keep at it. Your writing is worth it.BMelonsLemonadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06746882165582323180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9193316819499446317.post-8760288635871158102010-09-01T21:07:20.811+02:002010-09-01T21:07:20.811+02:00Thank you, Wildernesschic.

I have been a bit worried.<br /><br />I love this passage:<br />Death by heroin is no more tragic than death by old age. What is tragic is if that drug use consumes you to the point that you miss your own life.<br /><br />It is so honest and true. I have hope for you. If you really want it, and I believe you do, then you can have it. <br /><br />You are loved,<br /><br />SBSarcastic Bastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116577711704241625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9193316819499446317.post-13883235235848146222010-08-31T21:52:30.142+02:002010-08-31T21:52:30.142+02:00Shane, Your gift for writing sends me into bouts o...Shane, Your gift for writing sends me into bouts of amazement.
