Experimentation on a live specimen bears a fruit.
Finally feeling comfortable under a broad umbrella, though I've lately struggled with indecision whether to continue the Horrendous series in 'poetry' or stick a stretched out section or two in one of story categories. So in the meantime decided to work it with prose and if I decide to go with the poetry maybe draw a little poetic language from the prose.
Well, hearkening to the thread about cycles, I tried to exert conscious effort with a few things, namely the mood factor. Like, this morning, after a short walk with the dog out in the outdoors, I got really excited about going into various paragraphs and anticipating a pleasure akin to walking down an unknown road that promises a new delight each step of the way. And it went that way, until just a few minutes ago. I actually felt the fizzle. Instead of going back to the work I made myself recall the previous thoughts, what brought the mood to a sudden fizzle. Also, what started the good mood. That was easy: being outside, all of the sense-texture-morsels, like sucking down airy energy pills.
The other, the stoppage took a little more thought, but the effort paid off: it was a very brief entertainment of wondering what others would think. It wore such soft shoes when it entered I didn't really pay it much mind. But it hung around and I began to look at it more and began to converse with it.
And the mood was gone.
I almost tried to force it back, but instead I said, "no. Stop. Just stop."
So I stopped.
Try browsing the outside buffet again.
sounds like you've been busy. i like the one at a time idea. that'll help to put balance between the highs and lows, to even them out a little more so they're not so extreme. by the way, there's a blocking feature on here... maybe it could be worth using it for the supernanny...? and if that's me, i'll take the hint well, i promise. seriously, that blocking feature, if you choose it, is a godsend.
Just wondering how you guys are doing...
Heyyy! There ya are!
I'm around.. just basically worn out after spending days at the hospital.
So, how r u guys? all good?
I hope so.
Your mention of flowers blended in somewhat with an old memory that drifted back a little earlier today. I heard some sounds in the distance (probably someone working on their house) and I remembered Saturday fall afternoons where I grew up. A light breeze, a few leaves falling from the trees, the sound of the band playing at the high school football game a few blocks away. The flowers tied in with homecoming corsages, not that I ever had any first-hand experiences there. A pleasant remembrance, not especially profound, just an auditory trigger.
That's beautiful. I'm glad the memory is pleasant.
My first hand experiences in that dept were pretty skimpy too.
In fact, though the ideas and imagery be romantic, truth is, my school experience was mostly horrible. Or we were just not compatible. Or schools were designed to suck.
I was at the beach open market..I remember seeing lovely orchids in purple,
yellow and white...but, the taste of the fresh peaches drew my mind away and I bought some ...delightfully sweet peaches...sighs...blue
I have a strong 'memory' isnt the word but something to do with red tulips in my childhood, I don't know why but it's like a strong 'pull' if that makes sense
One sees writing as an avenue to a soluble career and the other sees it as a simple important element of living and loving life.
Maybe?
