Writer's Fallout Shelter

Hi Everyone,

It has been a couple years since I've walked these halls...

My writing habits have become very lax compared to the late '90s.

These days I write out a scene and then find myself a solid blank...no energy to push through with the young idea and explore passed the window I've managed to open. I save these scenes in a notebook, but rarely go back and explore. Again a lack of energy and discipline seem to be the root to this deficiency.

I have recently resurrected two scenes into full fledged stories this year...so progress hasn't completely stopped up.

Today I found myself reading through the last few strings of comments posted in July and August. I want to thank 'Ed' for posting his idea/daily exercise regarding how he methodically surfs through magazines for ideas that will germinate and be useful later.

Part of my lack of production may stem from the fact that I don''t exercise my creativity enough. As Louise said, the more I write the more ideas are germinated...or something to that effect. Now all I have to do is practice a bit of BIC (butt in chair) and practice with the new tools I've picked up in this forum.


Thank-you for your ideas and candid conversationing.



Take care and may your road lead to only good places.

Compassion and the effort to try and understand some thing that was not understood before is a step toward acceptance not only of others but most importantly of yourself.
