Spinning Uncensored

The overwhelming desire to write. But I think this easily translates into any creative outlet and right now, I have the overwhelming need to sew. I spent all day yesterday working on this baby and I’m rather proud of the end result. Rar. My beach bikini part one. Today I’m working on the top.

And for kicks, here is my ancient sewing machine. I cost me five dollars at a flea market. While it has its quirks and its bad days, I have made this thing (literally) produce a couple of quilts, a major installation piece, numerous shirts and pants, and now, a bathing suit. I think I got my money’s worth. HA!

And not to neglect the title of this post: the condition of hypergraphia is explored in this book called The Midnight Disease: The Drive to Write, Writer’s Block, and the Creative Brain, by Alice W. Flaherty. Flaherty is a neurologist/writer and discusses the physiological aspects and literary history behind creativity and writing. So far, the book is intriguing–five pages in. Damn this need to sew.
