Something I came across in my travels...

by plainsue

Rated: E · Book · Internet/Web · #492316

A writer uses whatever he/she make come across to get her creative juices going.

I surf many websites..seeking advise and seeking ideas from many sources.Sometimes, a quote or some kind of saying..hits home..or gets my creative juices moving..Here's a quote with no author behind it, I found on lablaugh.com..
The only way...
The only way you truly fail is to stop trying altogether.

I want to be a writer...but I get writer's block and stress..kills my creative sense..so I seek....Thank you

Hey Kare Enga! I like what you wrote. Thanks for sharing. When you said, I grow bolder as I grow older, well I believe that too.

I write to let the gas out... no, not always pretty; but if I hold it in I blow!

Sometimes I do want to make a point and sometimes I have to choose my words carefully. That said, I grow bolder as I grow older.

Warm fuzzies are nice, and far better than cold pricklies... but... reality can bite.

Well, Kare Enga in Montana. because of incident I got a spoken to from my Supervisor, her supervisor, union representative, and human resources, Wow what a day! They told me to apologize to her. Part of me wants to but the other says it was her fault. I will eventually apologize. Thanks for the read.

It's not always easy to navigate a workplace. There are times I misspoke; but, other times I should have filed formal complaints.

Time to move on if the place becomes too toxic; one should be happy.

I became an orphan this week; found out today. You are fortunate to have had close family. Our reality is a bit more complicated.

Find happiness in what you have. If East Lansing has snow, rejoice in snow!

[I grew up in the Snow Belt.]

I left everything years ago. Lost contact with lots of wonderful people; but, it was too toxic to stay.

The last two years of Covid have crushed me. I need to travel and it's still iffy internationally.

As a senior I concur. Over a year later it still causes divisions within the older generation and between generations as well. Montana is an anti-masker, anti-vaxxer, anti-everything state.

I think the pandemic has been so detrimental for people's mental well-being. We won't even know the full scope of it until after the pandemic is over.

1) No.

2) Improving still.

3) The ideas play around in my head. There are many. Before writing, I never realized that my mind stored so much.

4) Nobody in my family reads. My mother reads, but she feels my stories are not that good.

5) Yes. I read them, review them to learn.

6) Hobby.

7) What is a usual muse?

8) Computer. I only use pen and paper to scribble.

9) Sometimes, yes. But I don't fret about it. It happens. I have 1001 things to finish in life. I just go and finish those things.

10) Sometimes, yes. But it is more like a compulsion to write.
