some walk the hallways, some stare at blank screens or beat-up typewriters, some wake up at 2am with a wonderful blog, and then there is me. I have ideas all the time…every waking moment. I can’t bring myself to sit in front of the screen 8 hours a day, but if I did, the words would just keep tumbling out. There is no grading as to whether the features will get an A or an F in the world of reading, but I really don’t care.
Just waking up in the morning starts the wheels turning….there is the local paper and the WSJ, not to mention the l0cal and national news. There are things that happen just outside the window that bring ideas of friendship, warmth, and smiles. I think the fun of writing is to look at a piece of information, a comment, a statement, an occurrence, and then put your twist on it…..It may be your opinion of how something happened or who made it happen. It might be a movie most rave about that I can’t stand. It may be a child acting out or acting up, or making their famous statements about life.
Ideas and writing create newer ideas and newer writings. News turns into history the moment it occurs, but it might change us forever. Words create pictures in the mind, accompanied by assorted emotions. Our writings bring us to tears, and helps us reach heights we never knew possible.
So when you are just sitt’in….think’in, you are still do’in. later
