I write here about fabulous fish, where i think of people, and their many layered desires to be and be expressed. To be expressed is not quite the same as to be understood, nor to be published though it has elements of both. Perhaps it is an evolutionary prototype that contains the roots of both expressions.
Fabulous Fish, are people interested in other people. They may be Dead or Alive, perhaps even Fictional. But they should all be Fabulous in whichever way you might take that meaning.
For me today, I think mostly of a place I can write and store my writing on interesting things. Well, people and things - especially in the realm of creativity in art and science. In philosophy. In ideas. I call them fabulous because I do not understand them (yet), and I hope through writing to understand them more.
I wish to befriend them.
Fabulous Things are equally misunderstood. Black holes perhaps. Strange objects with that sense of magic. Again I collect them here in the hope they can teach me something.
But most of all fabulous fish are other writers. Ones I recognise as fabulous, whether they like it or not, whether I like them or not. There is just the recognition of their fabulousness, and the hope that we may write together.
This writing with strangers is invitation only. I can invite them into my space. I can pull their writing into my pages, and reply. Whether they like it or not. And where they can write to me, but only in their space, and I may read it or not.
More intimately we may form groups, or pods, that make it easier to write together. To see each other. The pods, or writing groups have their own form, often curated or formed by an individual, they become their own thing as they mature. We publish these under a word or subdomain, and seek ways to package the writing in forms that extend into the online and offline worlds.
