Sometimes I think that nothing is real until I write it first - THE BUSINESS OF FANCYDANCING Share on X
Sometimes I think that nothing is real until I write it first. That no idea, whether good or bad, has ever been thought until I think it.
The thing is, there is this place I go to. I can be in a room full with thousand of people, and I just fade away. My body is still there but I’m in a completely different place. And it’s dark in there. Like inside a machine or in the belly of a whale. And all my dreams are there. And my memories. And my lies. And they get all mixed up. And spin. Spin. Spin. And that’s when a poem happens.

I can totally relate! As if the words create reality. I guess this is partly what draws us into writing!

I wish I could find a video with that passage. The way Evan Adams acts it just gives me goosebumps :-)
