Gwydhar Gebien

I haven't posted a blog in a while but lately life has gotten me feeling philosophical. Check out my new post "A Writer's Path" about the importance of trash.

A Writer’s Path Sometimes we have to pick up a lot of trash to find a little treasure.

I was twelve or thirteen when we got our first home computer. It was a bulky Gateway 2000 that arrived in the house in three large boxes printed with black-and-white spots like a Holstein. It occupied a table all of its own in our family room and the six of us took turns prodding its various functions to determine what it could do.

I quickly discovered the joys of a word processor. Up until then, all “fancy” writing had to be punched out on an outdated electric typewriter that hummed like a turbine and smelled like a nun. Starchy. Unforgiving. But to use a word processor was to experience transcendence itself. Day after day, I found myself drawn to the enthralling glow of the computer monitor where the cursor beckoned to me, blinking silent and serene like the beacon of a lighthouse on an endless white sea.
