The computer is often my worst enemy because when I type I think too much, correct too much, read too much. It is in the journaling that I really let my thoughts explode on paper.ebusseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639863049256384025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339386135949082057.post-52668436758717417002007-04-16T23:00:00.000-07:002007-04-16T23:00:00.000-07:00I pretty much have the same way of writing.

There is so much freedom in allowing oneself to freewrite...letting the brain, and God, an opportunity to spill out. With the benefit of computers, it is so easy to then eliminate the garbage, and refine the language,structure, ideas, and story.<BR/><BR/>It was nice to be Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339386135949082057.post-78579072620408322552007-04-14T06:01:00.000-07:002007-04-14T06:01:00.000-07:00I'm so glad the ideas helped!

I did this a few years ago, but let it slip away. You've shown how valuable that tool can be. I put a spiral notebook by my bed last night, and will dig up several more today. The trick will be keeping the rest of the family from "borrowing" them!Full Contact, Savior-centric Livinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15927510247997004688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339386135949082057.post-75566143302157251902007-04-12T12:59:00.000-07:002007-04-12T12:59:00.000-07:00Tricia, lots of helpful starter ideas here!

Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Are you "snowed under"?
