This is absolutely what happens for me when I write, It just comes, I rarely can make it and when I try it sounds like it. It is only when I let myself be totally consumed by my writing, that I feel like it is written well. It is because it comes from the heart that way and is not simply a bunch of words manufactured and put in order on the page. I surprise myself quite often that way and many times find myself saying "yeah, that is good! That is exactly what I wanted to say"! Thanks for writing about it so I could find it and totally relate to it. This makes me feel good!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09639626944723165697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26765798.post-6690022625238903642012-12-04T10:46:09.589-05:002012-12-04T10:46:09.589-05:00Barbara - Thanks for the reminder to read it out l...Barbara - Thanks for the reminder to read it out loud! This is an excellent tool. It helps me find mistakes I wouldn't have caught otherwise and it helps me see that there is magic in there too.<br /><br />Magnus Pym - I love the image of you cracking up in the Apple Store!

I was reading the draft aloud and I couldn't stop giggling. I was at the Apple store with many people mingling about. I am sure they were confused but it was fun! Writing rocks! Thanks for reminding me that the only way I can get the experience of cracking myself up like that is by actually putting fingertips to the keyboard and making them click clack. Hugs to you Nita and Cowlumbus all, I miss you!Magnus Pymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04408641882230416349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26765798.post-12745887004483439452012-05-02T21:32:32.176-04:002012-05-02T21:32:32.176-04:00The odd thing was that I never knew work was any g...The odd thing was that I never knew work was any good until I read it out loud. Sometimes it seemed whiney or self serving, but read out it would have fire. One piece I did was so sad for me I could hardly read it at all. Yet when it ended everyone laughed.<br />So I guess, my comment is don't trust your negative thoughts. Read it out loud, even if you're alone, and then shelve it and check it out later.<br />BarbaraPicottee Ashedenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08170460915810224964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26765798.post-46061015636551261742012-05-02T20:36:59.629-04:002012-05-02T20:36:59.629-04:00Wonderful post.
