Purpose: To share and encourage. Writers can express doubts and concerns without fear of appearing foolish or weak. Those who have been through the fire can offer assistance and guidance. It’s a safe haven for insecure writers of all kinds!
We all have an internal clock that helps us regulate the day.
Time to wake up...
Time to eat...
Time to sleep...
I have one that helps me to write. It is every time I daydream.
The only problem is the lack of time to actually write it down.
At work they tend to frown on people who take a note book out every few minutes to jot things down.
Yes I have a problem...I daydream all the time!!
Unfortunately I don't get paid to daydream at work
or do I....
That's not fair. I get paid to blog. You should get paid to write.
ReplyDeleteI did just post this on my lunch break, but still no pay. :-(
ReplyDeleteI have thought about this a lot. I take a LOT of time to figure out what i want to write - and just as much figuring out HOW I'm going to write it.
ReplyDeleteIf I had taken all that time and spent it on thinking about making money or something, who knows what i could have done? Instead, every spare moment is spent thinking about writing.
It's something I sort of feel like I have to do, but... man, does it ever take up a lot of my life!
When I write it is by the seat of my pants. If I think too much I tend to bog down in the mire of self doubt.
ReplyDeleteI wish I was paid to daydream, but some guys like Einstein and Steve Jobs did and changed the world. Maybe someday David.
ReplyDeletecan't you say the notebook is there to write down your boss's wisdom? :)
ReplyDeleteOne day...
ReplyDeleteMy boss has the nickname The Little Chihuahua.
ReplyDeleteAll I would get would be yip, yip, yip!
Instead of a notebook, maybe you could send yourself an Email or type it in a Word document. Then it looks more like you're doing actual work.
ReplyDeleteI use a lot of Excel, that might be feasible.
ReplyDeleteAs long as it doesn't cut into my bathroom breaks. ;-)
Gosh i think the first one is me. I wish I had the energy of ironman, then I could live the dream...read, write and comment all day long. The day just isn't long enough, lol.
ReplyDeletedaydreaming is crucial for writing. At least, I think it is. It's where I get the best ideas! But if I don't write them down, I forget them. Oh, I like Pat's suggestion to write yourself an email!
ReplyDeleteThat might be better than fighting it in an Excel cell! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe AVENGERS movie needs to be out already! It has been awhile since I ventured off to the theater.
ReplyDeleteI definitely have that internal wake-up clock whether I need to get up or not. That's one clock I wouldn't mind shutting off now and then. I daydream a lot and since I'm retired I don't guess that it matters, but I wish I could do better at using my daydreams to kick my writer's butt into gear.
ReplyDeleteYou keep dream and keep writing. And if you're still working and taking home a paycheck then keep doing that for as long as you can or need to.

Tossing It Out
Thanks Arlee. I write for my own personal therapy, but if I could get paid to daydream that would be nice?! ;-)
ReplyDeleteSomeone once said they could put time in a bottle. I still can't find the store that sells them! ;-)
ReplyDeleteDay dreaming is my specialty too. I'm a university teach who is supposed to be serious and NOT day dreaming. But you know me, I can't help myself nor would I want to. Dream on!
ReplyDeleteDreaming can become contagious. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI feel like I have my best ideas when I have the least time to act upon them.
ReplyDeleteLife has a funny way of taking time...;-)
ReplyDeleteSo what... It's not like we need a cure, right? Right?
