Journal: On the Writing Process

[thenumber33]

Sometimes, the thoughts just come unbidden-while taking a bath or when you’re about to fall asleep. Sometimes, they just seem to flow out of your head-page after page of beautiful imagery. Most of the time, however, writing can be like one long crucifixion

This is very interesting stuff, and just what I've been thinking about. When I was in third grade, the teacher had all these helpful quotes hung around the classroom. One was from Julie Andrews: "Some people regard discipline as a chore. For me, it is a kind of order that sets me free to fly." Only too true.

And who wants to write like Hemingway? Let's write better than that ;)

reminded me of another quote

"Writing is easy. All you do is stare at a blank sheet of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead." -- Gene Fowler

hello! ;p

just found out about your new blog. and at this point, can relate to soooo much of what you are saying. so though i'm just taking a break from the office-stress, my head pounding but still so many pendings at 7 pm on a friday night, will share what i think with you.

donna, sobra i feel this way about writing din.

i'm so frustrated to leave "girl interrupted" behind and view it in its inactivity. but at the same time, it breaks my heart to start a new one. i have so much to say and at the same time nothing to say...

Do you know what that means? That means you're working too hard. When work is all you can talk and think about, there's something probably very wrong.

Start a new journal here! :)
