It simply requires slowing down a bit, opening eyes and ears and noses...and it's a beautiful space to inhabit. Sadly, we can get too steeped in hurry and bustle to let it happen; but it's always there waiting for us...<br /><br />A great window into process! :)Paulhttp://birdsandtreesofthemind.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915339669985059502.post-18771410616816256402012-03-19T14:40:32.734+11:002012-03-19T14:40:32.734+11:00Alan,

Isn't it interesting how the best words seem to come when we are away from our writing for a bit.

Your reflection is stirring, Alan, but especially that writer's (& I think scientists') habit of noticing. It's great you found much today to record.Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915339669985059502.post-3663650343558135212012-03-19T02:31:23.156+11:002012-03-19T02:31:23.156+11:00I love how you described your word storm and how y...I love how you described your word storm and how you and other writers are collectors of words.Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18011661904689079860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915339669985059502.post-89398745420205844822012-03-19T01:52:45.350+11:002012-03-19T01:52:45.350+11:00I read your post and thought about "The Boy W...I read your post and thought about "The Boy Who Loved Words" by Roni Schotter.Terje https://www.blogger.com/profile/13569210226711674834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915339669985059502.post-64832849232028873492012-03-18T22:45:47.262+11:002012-03-18T22:45:47.262+11:00Ahh...

How many times have I cried out in anguish because I had a wonderful, marvelous, beautiful thought present itself - and lost it into the cosmos because I didn't write it down? <br /><br />As I get older, I find it happening more and more. I need to get into the habit of stopping and WRITING things down so I don't lose them forever. :)maria.selkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12052847577940056985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915339669985059502.post-85961723364510717482012-03-18T22:09:10.366+11:002012-03-18T22:09:10.366+11:00I just put your words into my own writer's not...I just put your words into my own writer's notebook. <br />If I am a teacher who writes, it is easier to present as a writer who teaches.

Beautifully expressed, Alan, "...continue to let the words sing in my head before they explode across the page." My husband and I travel in our campervan during most school holidays and I feel happiest when I have my 'writer's notebook' close by, jotting down words and thoughts as they appear. Thank you for this lovely insight.Dawnnoreply@blogger.com
