Sometimes my rough draft looks like poetry.

Sometimes my rough draft looks like a random internal monologue about the process of baptism. Literally, thinking, hm, it's really strange that an adult person puts their hand over another adult person's face and dunks their whole fully clothed body in water and then the greater church celebrates for some reason. Who came up with that.

(Of course one of those things will be edited out. But the fact remains that it came out of me for some reason.)

#spencer speaks #writing #when i was a kid my church quite literally did baptisms in the swamp #like outside in the woods. whole church in sunday best pastor up to his waist in muddy water in his suit #i saw 2 women baptized like that both wearing solid white nightgowns #these were adults. everyone involved was an adult.#it was also a footwashing church where after services everyone washed each others feet #idk how that ended up popping up in an internal monologue on the page tho #obvi its gonna get cut #but WHAT
