Life Writing co-written by ericcoliu
Start with your life in the first place
Then make a text, a revisionist literary work
Move backward and forward in time
Narrate between moods and events
Control the pace and tension of storytelling
In which there are many rubbings-out and puttings-in
Writing life is more than writing lines _________________ I'm Champagne,

Well said.
Thanks for your reading of and commenting on my writing.
A Life Text
I compose my life
Out of the cracks in the wall of past memories
And the Dragon footprints of my future
The making of a life is similar to that of a text
I live by reading my own life stories
I read by recall and imagination of a life text
A life text is an inscription in the stone wall
And an imagery infusing the maker with hope _________________ I'm Champagne,
Bottled poetry with sparkling joy. |

Life-writing is an interesting literary idea.
During the past two years, I have done nothing important except so-called “life-writing”, which helps keep my mind calm and focused. One thing I've learned from the writing process in my adopted language is to focus my mind and fully experience the moment of being-in-the-process-of-some-kind; over time, writing becomes a kind of concentration meditation.
However, one big question left unanswered is: what have I actually created? All I do is take those little details of life that are lacking and add a little of something else; I take event A that occurred during time B at place C to person D, or maybe myself, and rewrite it in time E at place F to person G, or possibly myself. Then I add a bit of H or remove a part of K -- did I forget I and J? Oh, I am saving them so that myself or the reader like you will have the space to exercise his/her imagination.
For me, life-writing is like the migratory process of moving out, coming in, going back, moving on, and staying put over the spacio-tempo territory of my encounters with others. _________________ Time is nothing but a disquiet of the soul |

Narrativizing Life
Ending is something only existing in art
Not in life -- short of our own breath
The moment the telling of a story is ended
It is immediately made unrealistic
And, by the same rationale
The moment a story begins
It is also unlike real life
Giving a narrative to any life event is basically
A fantasy created by the human mind to rationalize
The unfocused contingency of the real world _________________ I'm Champagne,

On Life Writing
Rendering the events of one's life in a conscious manner cannot create art. Virginia Woolf did not reproduce her life in a written form as it was in Moments of Being, but as she remembered it. The life which one lives is limited, but the life as one remembers it is infinite, boundless, unlimited, because the recaptured moment is only a key to everything that has happened before it and after it.
The day unravels what the night was woven. When we awake each morning, we hold in our hands, usually weakly and loosely, but a few fringes of the tapestry of lived life, as loomed for us by remembering. _________________ Time is nothing but a disquiet of the soul |

Storytelling as a Process of Becoming Self
Storytelling is not a spectacle of the inner self striving to be let out, but an attempt of a self to find identity in terms outside oneself. The act of storytelling works dialogically not so much to claim that others recognize one's authenticity, but rather to fashion that authenticity comes out of recognitions for which one's story provides. To portray the inner self is possible only by portraying one's communion with another; in the interactions of one with another, the inner self can be revealed for others as well as for oneself. Stories, as dialogue, do not present a self formed before the story is told; rather, in stories one becomes for the first time who he or she really is. _________________ I'm Champagne,
