The beauty of an Ellipsis(…)
Nic and I got into a nice small discussion about our love for Ellipsis (I love to discuss things that surround the use of language).
For her it was the lack of permanence. Leaving something undefined…Never really committing to a statement…the idea that it was still open…maybe…
For me…it’s the idea that things might be carried on…that nothing was ever really ended…that ideas could be completely thought out…that things can always be come back to later on. I write generally, at least in my head, in ellipsis. My thoughts one continual stream. If you’ve met me, i generally start sentences that there is not an end to, but I pick them up, usually by the way side, later on.
If I could write an entire novel with less periods, and more…I might…
feel more fulfilled.
ah, language is beautiful.
