The Process has Begun!
Process. What process? My writing process. Oh! That process. I didn't really know I had one, I thought it was me staring at the blank page - terrified of the nothingness, hoping an idea would formulate and brilliance would fling itself onto my void of a document. The reality is my process starts days before the blank page. Someone (a.k.a my sister, Hannah) asks when I'm going to post again. I panic. Then I begin to ponder. To really get the juices flowing, I read through every blog I have listed in "my favorites". The list is quite extensive, and takes a good hour to work my way through it. Sitting on a rainy Saturday morning, reading posts, is so relaxing. It's inspiring to hear a myriad of voices and ideas coming through my computer screen. There is something magical about this process. I still have no idea of what I might write, but these bloggers make me want to write. So, today I will keep my eyes peeled and my heart open to a possible topic. Let the process continue!

It is interesting to think about what everyone's processes might be. I'm pretty sure ideas plant themselves somewhere in my brain, and they take days to weeks to turn into something that I can write about...or they push so painfully against the gray matter that I have no choice but to write.
ReplyDeleteA few minutes ago, I thought that one of my ideas was ready to write about.
Nope.
I tried three different approaches, and none of them work. Not time yet.
