This is so well written! I really like your contemplations on writing. So much of the great writing I know is about the author observing & contemplating small details in everyday life.
There especially to be something about dead insects. I once wrote a whole poem about a dead moth.
thank you for the kind words! yes, dead bugs have been a theme for me for awhile, I think there's something about them that makes everything feel very sharp and clear. I'd love to read your moth poem!!
sorry it took me so long to read this. i love this idea so much and i think you should continue to write about dead bees even if the dead bees can't be monetized. a lot of the times i worry i'll some day fall into the content-creation-machine and i have to be so intentional that i only write when i want to write versus writing because i feel like my queue is dwindling and i'll eventually run out of things to post (and if i eventually run out of things to post, so be it! i will leave this platform). (and also disclaimer that i have nothing against content creation, i am simply not a content creator)
I'm learning this myself, to write at my pace, which is sometimes all at once and sometimes never in a few months. I feel you on having the queue dwindle - this micro-essay actually came out after my own queue had run out, so we'll see where things go from here.
i am always so curious as to how writers are able to choose these specific, finite details within their reality to hyper-fixate on. dead bees are such a great pick up!
this was such an amazing read because it made me realise the superficial reasons for why i write - social validation. i want to grow beyond that and maybe write something which serves no purpose other than to supplement my creativity. thank you for your inspiration :)
