“There is something delicious about writing the first words of a story. You never quite know where they’ll take you.” – Beatrix Potter
I finally got over myself and realized that blogging and journaling are two different animals. When I was in college, I loved to write. Even more so after taking a journal writing class that was just devine. It was the 80’s when personal computers were slowing taking over the world. My instructor who could build a small castle with all his paper journals in his lifetime, was suddenly smitten to know he could fit all his writings onto a floppy disk saving trees and shelf space. I on the other hand felt this digital step incringed on my hand to paper mentality which I was already accustomed to thru my artwork. I love pen to paper, massaging paint into the canvas, scrubbing charcoal into a creamy shadow shape. A keyboard/mouse was not yet a tool for me and though I can type well, I just couldn’t write with a free flow like I can with paper. Until now. So, Nancy, keep on writing and just get out of your own way!
