I’m still having a little trouble writing, even blogging, but since the pdoc added another med to my cocktail, I’m feeling better. Still, it’s tough even to just freewrite. Insane, huh?
Weird how it’s easy for me to write blog posts on the computer, but when I write first drafts or sketches of scenes, dialogue, whatever, it’s always been easier and more comforting for me to write on actual paper.
A yellow letter-size legal pad.
Yeah. I’ve gotten to the point that I don’t even like writing in my journal (my actual paper journal) anymore. I prefer my blog.
@Heather: I can’t remember the last time I’ve journaled!
@Vince: Thanks for noticing, and visiting! You’re right — writing’s writing even if no one else sees it or anyone who Googles my blog does. So far, the writing/blogging is kind of halting, like when I went ice skating recently. Just trying to go one foot in front of the other, one word in front of the other.
Barb!
I just caught on that you’re blogging again. A week late, but here I am. Brava, woman!
You go. Whether yellow legal pad or bloggo, you’re writing. Let the words come, however slow or fast, let ‘em come. Back on the ice. Looking forward to reading more. Congrats!

Whatever medium works for you, just keep on writing and expressing yourself. My admiration for your honesty and courage knows no bounds!
Thanks, OD.
Interesting. I can not remember the last time I wrote in my paper journal. I miss it sometimes, because it was just for me to read. But, yes my thoughts seem to flow better on the computer.
It’s been a while since I’ve journaled, which for me is separate from my creative writing. And I used cute, fancy, or pretty journals for that. I probably still would.
But for writing creatively, I have got to have that yellow pad of paper!
Whatever works, ya know?
Exactly! And I’m running out of legal pads!
Which is probably a good thing.
