Quote
It is necessary to write, if the days are not to slip emptily by. How else, indeed, to clap the net over the butterfly of the moment? For the moment passes, it is forgotten; the mood is gone; life itself is gone. That is where the writer scores over his fellows: he catches the changes of his mind on the hop.
~Vita Sackville-West
Capturing the Moment
Have you ever had an idea and then couldn't remember it later? It's so frustrating! But it doesn't need to be.
I can't tell you how many times while riding in a vehicle I've been hit with ideas. I've learned to always bring a notebook and pencil and pencil sharpener with me on any excersion, short or long. I might not pick it up at all, but more times than not, I do. On our last trip, while doing a cryptogram, an idea hit me like a ton of bricks. I already had my pencil in hand, so I traded my puzzle book for the blank lined paper and wrote away. I love it when I get inspired suddenly, out of nowhere. That's why it's so important to bring paper and a pencil with you wherever you go, if possible.
The leader of our writing group told me she brings a pocket notebook with her when she walks her dogs. It's something many of us might not think about, but once you make it a habit, you'll find it can be useful! She started doing it because she had come up with some good ideas but couldn't remember them by the time she arrived home.
Ideas spring up everywhere. If it's inconvenient to carry a notebook, think about a small recording device. Sometimes it just isn't feasable to get your inspirations down on paper or recorder. It's a chance we take. But if possible, find ways to help yourself remember your idea(s). I might go as far as borrrowing a pen from someone and writing down a few words on the palm of my hand!
In our busy world today, there's much to inspire us but timing is not always convenient. At least stick a blank piece of paper in your pocket and one of those mini-pencils, just in case an idea springs up in the middle of nowhere. You might not have enough paper to write a book, but at least you'll remember your terrific idea! Capture that moment.
Have a wonderful week!!!
Keep on Writing!
Yours truly,
Cubby ") |

And Now For Our Featured Newbies!
Excerpt:
I wanted to let go
I wanted to move on
I'd been in that prison
For far too long
Excerpt: When it was time, they told her about the facts of life. They warned her about going out and getting half-baked, so she wouldn't get accidentally mashed,
and get a bad name for herself like 'Hot Potato,' and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots.
Excerpt: Once there was an old man who gathered his three sons, George, Bruce and Patrick at his house. The four of them sat at their father's round table. The old man had a book and a large bag in front of him. When his three sons were attentive he said; "Sons, I am old and will soon be leaving you. It is time for me to give up all my things and go retreat to find peace at last before the end of my days. This should be our last good-bye. I'm going away to a secluded place with this very old book from ages too long gone for anyone to remember, and with it I am determined learn the great eternal truths and wisdom before I die. Now, I will leave each of you something valuable."
Excerpt:
This site, it does wonders for my soul and heart,
I had no Idea that right from the start.
Strangers like you would come to my rescue,
now I have to say, thank you and may the good lord always bless you.
Excerpt: Wiping her hair from her face, I notice myself mimic her, her exact movements are mine. Or are they hers? Who is she? I cannot take the uncertainty any longer. Jumping into her view sporadically, I wave my arms above my head and shake my legs underneath me. A certain jumping-jack form. A smile appears on her face. Is she laughing at me? What does she see? I cannot tell.
