Now before you finish creating images of me using my moleskin notepads to cover up my delicate parts, I was thinking more about being able to show off what I write and not to hide it all in a note pad. Last night, when Gok worked his magic on his chosen lady, it was not really about the clothes she wore, but more about the person that they covered.
As with all makeover shows, the journey, last night, was to make the lady recognise her own inner beauty so she would be proud of who she was. If you are wondering what this has to do with naked writing, it is the principle of being able to be bold enough to share what is being written in its naked form. When I write, the words comes from a place deep inside of me that isn't shared with many people, like my own wonderland and my fear is always what if I have the courage to let someone else into my wonderland, will they want to change it?
There are guidelines to write and edit prose, but before you get to that stage, you first have passion. Passion (to me when writing), is letting the words pour out of your head and jump onto the page as if you had the last bit of paper in the whole wide world. Sometimes it is the rawness of fresh words that motivates my entire world. Stories, poems and novels take time and the editing process can take a lifetime and turn your whole world into a mass of red pen and correction fluid that changes the passion into a reality.
Writing is my passion, it is my legal high that costs nothing, and if the words are right they will give me the same hit, time and time again. To me, it is wonderful to get lost in words and now I intend to share my passion for prose. I can't guarantee polished works of fiction and correct grammar 100% of the time. But I can promise naked prose with you and, if you let me, I will take you on a journey to an unknown world.
