Well, I’ve managed to keep up the writing habit for an entire week!  Wonder how that will work when photo shooting season starts??? 

When I first started this, I kept wondering what in the world I would write about. Maybe I was trying to make it too formal; maybe I thought I should write about certain subjects, in a certain way.  But now I’m realizing that it doesn’t matter what I write about, as long as I just write! 

I purchased a couple of smallish that give you writing “prompts”, and I’ll probably use them once in a while, but I can write about whatever I want – whatever pops into my head. I can write about a color, a thing, a song, a book, what I see out the window, a feeling or mood, mustaches, dog paws, cat whiskers…. anything!!

I need to keep a small notebook with me to jot down ideas as I have them, and then write about them later. Any imaginable ideas, no matter how silly, serious, outlandish or crazy they are.

What would it be like to ride a star?

What would it feel like to be able to fly like a bird?

What if I could get inside the “mind” of an inanimate object?

A stapler, frying pan, or a TV tray?? 

 

Oh, now my mind is racing…

 

The ideas are ENDLESS!
