“Compost is organic matter that has been decomposed and recycled as a fertilizer and soil amendment.”
As an older writer, I relate. God knows I have enough shreds and shards of memories to fill a dumpster. I suggest that it is the management and use of this slurry that informs and gives sustenance to writings. Sometimes, it can be used in raw form but mostly it must ‘decompose’ and reach optimum flavor much as the chili is better after a night in the fridge.
Those swirling remnants of past experience can sometimes be annoying when they deny me sleep but they are still nutrients (amendments) for creative ventures.
