I am becoming alarmed. Highly alarmed by the results coming in for The Experiment. Its possible that I am about to embark on something really weird.
There was an article online today about why people write, it was a stupid article. I know why people write and it isn't pretty.
Writing is like a compulsion, a disease, or a result or cure for dis ease. People write because they have to. The writer is other, there is discomfort and a sense of separation, feeling like you are sitting on a parallel observational plane and are compelled to report back to the rest of the herd in the same way animals stand guard and stare at all the horizon while the rest of the herd sleeps on, oblivious.
Because it pours out. You can divert it but if you try and dam it it will drown you. Its not a choice.
That's why.
