 |   Second blog -- answers to an ocean of prompts |
 "Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself." CHARLIE CHAPLIN  Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet confinement of your aloneness to learn anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you. David Whyte        This is my supplementary blog in which I will post entries written for prompts. |
| Prompt: "I kept always two books in my pocket, one to read, one to write in." --Robert Louis Stevenson As writers, our craft is always with us. What do you carry? Me, I always have a notebook and a couple of pencils with me And fortunately with modern technology, Kindle on my phone when I'm stuck longer than I anticipated. I also take tones of pictures for later writing stimulation. ==== I am more of a reader than a writer, although I write quite a bit. Way back when, I used to carry a print book, and later, an e-reader in my bag. Now that I can read on my cell, the e-readers have been demoted to several places in the house with my favorite one taking on the night duty. This is because I am usually reading several books at the same general time, but I pick books with varying genres and settings and alternate fiction and non-fiction of different subjects since I don’t want to mix up the characters, plots, and information with one another. As to writing, Robert L Stevenson must have been more organized than me for I carry in my purse several pens and loose papers, actually scraps, and a couple of tiny pads that charities hand out. I also take notes on my cell or the e-readers. It would be better practice if I were to write my notes in one notebook or keep them in just one place. I tried to carry a notebook with me but it was too bulky for my purse. That’s when I got used to cut-up papers. Now, I am so conditioned to them that I even use them when I am at home. Still, I do have half-filled notebooks, hordes of them, because I like free-flow. Fact is, I tried to wean myself off those pieces of paper, but it didn’t go very well because a pen and those folded cut-ups in my shirt pocket are very handy and they feel like family. |
