I still got my guitar.
Whatever it is that makes you alive, hair standing on edge––don't give it up. When you get a bit older it should still raise a pulse. Once the experience is gone you can get by on the mirage of a pulse, which is known in certain circles as memory. The writing may get a bit hazy, cannon fodder in the distance. But don't give up.
Pick up a new thing, making sure it builds on the old thing without intruding. Roll dice, bones if you have them.
Expand the edifice if no one is interested. Stimulate yourself. Surround yourself with protein bars and shakes. As you build the edifice, don't forget the orifice. From dust were we sprung, unwilling–– into dust we shall slither, half alive (killer on the road).
Experiment. Chicken ala Stephen King. Minced Sonnets. Wok-fried Twitter. Put it all in a blender. Do not push go.
When you have enough decent writing to impress a few literary folks (mainly, as I said, yourself) shoot yourself in the foot. Throw a chair. Be the heel.
