 Day to day stuff....a memoir without order. |
 Imagination is described by Webster as...The act or power of forming a mental image of something not present to the senses in reality. Albert Einstein said "Logic will get you from A to B, but imagination will take you everywhere."  I never realized it until I read it somewhere but there are ways to boost one's imagination: Create a visual journal Draw whatever you see for 15 minutes a day. You don't need to be an artist. Think like an artist Cut out pictures from magazines & piece them together to create an original image. Listen to Bach Close your eyes while playing your favorite music. Or listen to the sounds of nature on a CD or in the great outdoors. Play word games Try thinking of as many words as you can that begin with MAR...or you pick. Daydream Let your mind wander, or focus on a single object & study its characteristics.     Everyone has a story....here's mine.....c ** Image ID #1701066 Unavailable **  |
| Our Writers' meeting today was all about NaNoWriMo. I confess I tried it last year but just got a little past signing up. Now I'm thinking about it again. Enthusiasm is catching. What turned me off last year was no genre for memoir...which is what I am writing...or trying to write. So today I asked that question and their answer was to write whatever you want to so maybe I will try it again this year. The thing is I already have around 30,000 words. I'm thinking of just continuing on but not posting that first 30,000. No one else reads the thing anyway and the point is to finish. I think I may have been looking at it all wrong last year. I have had such a terrible headache all afternoon and realized I was without my usual acetaminophen so I searched until I found some Goody's powder. It worked sort of but feels like it has just covered up the pain...still there in the back of my head. Oh, and that stuff tastes so awful...last resort. until next time...c p.s. After I saved this post, I went into NaNoWriMo, clicked "sign in" and there I was with a "welcome back" instantly. Is that a little scary? It must be my age, but I'm always surprised at things like that. I mean it's been a year and I wrote hardly nothing. |
