She buys spiral notebooks and just writes anything and everything in them. Then at some point, she goes back through them and sees if she has anything usable. Seems like a very freeing process!AVDutsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06068169781166515350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2789848305671189900.post-55994489112330994322013-01-17T00:34:46.676-08:002013-01-17T00:34:46.676-08:00Hi Richard,

It sounds great fun, do let us know how you are getting on, and what sort of stuff is falling onto the page.<br /><br />Are you doing it freehand, or typing it out? I'm asking as I find this determines what sort of writing I produce.<br /><br />The hand written stuff is always more emotional for some reason...<br /><br />Good luck with it...Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05322234219197041788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2789848305671189900.post-41681107398336234152013-01-16T04:53:43.501-08:002013-01-16T04:53:43.501-08:00oceanfullof bottles: I've tried again to comme...oceanfullof bottles: I've tried again to comment on your blog post, but it's not allowing me to.

If that makes sense, so therefore it is not discipline for me because I don't force myself to write unless I feel to do it. <br /><br />I used to write screenplays and short stories, but I see that those were styles I played with. I feel to me writing is an outlet, a method for self analysis, so now I only enjoy journaling. I wish I could write more playfully, try again with fiction, but it's hard to begin and I don't feel I have a story I want to share. For now at least.<br /><br />Well, that's my little reflective rant to your post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2789848305671189900.post-54368753179288521262013-01-14T11:03:31.333-08:002013-01-14T11:03:31.333-08:00Thank you, Clarissa.

On others, I just sit there, with writer's block, but I sit there.
