The only one there is us, and ghost voices of the cumulative critics. Rewriting is the best do-over, the big second chance. Knowing we will survive being inexpert or foolish or unwise does let us risk being those things. I picture sitting and trying to formulate a theory on how to skip without ever having tried it. xoMarylinn Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02759437467691163658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400078448867068387.post-56354883915314260762012-04-21T12:46:01.715-07:002012-04-21T12:46:01.715-07:00Sherry - Thank you.

It helps me (in theory) overcome the refrigerator words or fearing that I'm using refrigerator words. I know when I come back I can change them to something better. I think it was Richard Hugo who mentioned something about - look behind you, there's no one there. I scare myself into thinking I have nothing to say, no good way to say it, but to stop oneself before starting is creative impotence at its worst. I have been afflicted numerous times.<br />xoRachelVBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10312736736551027564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400078448867068387.post-73148851594689990312012-04-18T11:02:05.046-07:002012-04-18T11:02:05.046-07:00you've kept me and held me with your words, bo...you've kept me and held me with your words, both in your blog and in your comments. good writing like yours comes first from your relationship with life away from the page. the way you bring it to the page has been a blessing so many times for me. thank you!<br /><br />sherrySherry O'Keefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17152741915467896923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400078448867068387.post-85865694073201953562012-04-18T07:21:17.493-07:002012-04-18T07:21:17.493-07:00Beth - I would be working, or trying to, in a vacu...Beth - I would be working, or trying to, in a vacuum without my band mates in the blog universe.

More importantly, they are honest, true to your authentic thoughts and nature and, based on the number of comments you draw, I believe readers find meaning in what you write. You not only gave yourself the A to Z assignment, but you are following through steadily, thoughtfully. A daydreaming mind may not signal ADHD but imagination and hearing the call of voices not everyone can recognize. I admire your openness and consistency. You seem to be doing fine. xoMarylinn Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02759437467691163658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400078448867068387.post-42321964063466952662012-04-16T17:39:11.611-07:002012-04-16T17:39:11.611-07:00That's why I took on the A to Z - as motivatio...That's why I took on the A to Z - as motivation to get myself writing each day. This I do, but my writing is so stilted and blah that I should be ashamed to hit publish, and yet I do for some sort of masochistic charge. Lately I've been wishing someone would come into my life to tell me what to do. Like you, I feel a need for an "assignment".Rubye Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02511953177053448513noreply@blogger.com
