    What's The Most Poetic/Existential Thing You've Written, Ever?

    Discussion in 'The Lounge' started by that writer, Mar 10, 2021.

    It could be in your dissertation, a short story you did years ago, even a memo. Literally any bit of writing you've ever done - anything from your hand.
    For me, it would have to be:
    "Malfoy doesn't love."
    "No," She smiles. "I imagine he doesn't."

    I was a bit drunk and it was high time I went to sleep, but it just...hit me.
    Out of context, it seems...most wouldn't understand, I reckon. But she's saying that 'Draco' and 'Malfoy' are two different people. Not literally, of course, but figuratively. The 'Malfoy' persona is, well, someone who doesn't love, who's cruel and inhuman. Draco, on the other hand, is the person who loves.
    So, how about you?

    Many moons ago I wrote with ketchup the words nothing is everything that is not on a table in McDonalds.

    The highlight of my writing career thus far and in likeliness henceforth, not least because I use terms like thus far and henceforth and to this day favour the medium of ketchup.
