HONOR THOSE WHO GAVE ALL


 

WRITER'S BLOCK


I don't believe that I have experienced writer's block, but I have had times I took a break from writing. I needed to desaturate from some much information in my head. 

I have written over sixty musings and quips for future stories and poems. Small ideas pop in my head. I see something or someone outside and write a description in my notebook. Writing is not a sprint; it's a lifelong journey that will take me to new places.

COMMENTARY

A few days ago I posted a photo of pad and pen and the need to always carry them. Today I made much use of them today. 

I went downtown to Chinatown and sat in a park that I enjoy going to. I wrote a couple of poems. I jotted down a description of a woman sitting on the bench across from me. I felt the need to write down my feelings about solitude, aloneness, the the desire to be anonymous. I would have forgotten much of this if I didn't have something to write with. 

Here's so much to draw from just by paying attention to my surroundings. I like writing the beautiful things around me. I also write about not so beautiful things. The homeless person. A child crying. An abandoned building. They are story ideas nevertheless.

WORDS OF WISDOM

With writing, I felt like it was just my free place where no one told me what to do because it was just my own.

BETTER A LITTLE THAN NONE

Writing a little bit is better than not writing at all. I have written nearly forty musings and quips. Here are a few of them:

'Cherish the moment you're in'

'Be a little weird'

'I have been here before, yet I have never been here'

'Thrift shop Callie'

Some quips have led me to write a poem or story. It's amazing how a few words can lead to some fine writing.
