 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 **  |
| I was so all fired up writing my memoir/life history, up to 30,000 words but now I have come to a complete stand still. I am at the point in time when Jim began to be really ill and going downhill...and it's hard to know how to put it into words or if I want to put it into words. I really had this crazy idea that by Christmas I would be able to give the finished books as gifts to my children and grandchildren. Any suggestions or does anyone know of any writing books that address this type of problem, writing about a spouse's illness? until next time...c |
