Day to day stuff....a memoir without order.

A special sig made for me by Mystic and gifted to me by Kat.


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." *Idea*

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.

My cold is much better although still an annoyance. I had gone to bed but decided it was too warm and am up running the a/c awhile, turned it off too soon. I can't sleep with it running at night so I'll need to wait until it cuts off, then go back to bed.

I received a review earlier on one of my older stories. It was short and had only one remark, that the characters needed to be more developed. I tend to overreact...still...to these kinds of reviews, critical with nothing good to say, and in order not to show it, I try to be overly nice in my response and gift points. Of course, an older story as it was, and written for a contest, I probably will never do any editing. But this may be a mistake. I'm overlooking the fact that someone who doesn't know me from Adam has taken the time to read my story and express his opinion. I think I'm missing the point here, an opportunity for improvement.

until next time...c
