A brief-yet-ongoing journal of all things Carmi. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll reach for your mouse to click back to Google. But you'll be intrigued. And you'll feel compelled to return following your next bowl of oatmeal. With brown sugar. And milk.
"Writing is a struggle against silence."As a writer, I've come to appreciate the quiet moments of reflection where the ideas begin to coalesce in my head. But I've also come to dread the moment where I might sit in front of my keyboard and screen and the words fail to materialize. I don't even want to imagine what that would be like, and I'm thankful I haven't experienced it thus far.

I totally agree.. because when the words fail, that means to me that I have lost the ability to express due to either fear of interpretation, fear of losing the confidence others think of me... Or worse, that I have lost the ability to express... to me that would be the worst...The older I get, I find it so easy to express and not worry...after all its just words and how its perceived is not my doing... hmmm, I think I have contradicted myself! what do u think?
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of something my ex-mother-in-law used to say about me, (after many miles were between us, and letters were our main communication) she knew the times I was silent, were the times I had so very much to say. I think that still exists for me today. I do fear the day my mind goes blank, and I don't write for a living yet!
ReplyDeleteWell, I understand Carmi. This takes it's own course as we regroup and come back with something new. I've been reading a short stack of books designated for "summer reading". his has captured my attention for blogs for now. All best!
ReplyDeleteWe all have tough writing days- I spend alot of blogging NOT writing stuff that irritates me- I'm just happy I can even get online sometimes (Today I'm BBsitting so zipping along- Home is too slow to visit here).
ReplyDeleteHope we always get to write, n get read!
