At least, I think that’s what they are. If not, they must be related.
I wrote an apparently funny poem at writing practice today. People laughed and someone told me they didn’t generally like poetry at the writing prompt group, but they liked mine. Someone said I should write poetry for kids. I surprised myself, writing nine rhyming stanzas in 20 minutes. I don’t think it’ll go down in history — and it’s rather transgressive — but hey! Laughter is good. We need more laughter.
Sometimes it’s “Process, not Product.” Let go of that inner editor and enjoy the act of writing!
Absolutely. We write to a prompt and are just supposed to keep the pen moving. I was pleasantly surprised! Then when I got home I did a smidgeon of tweaking, but that’s all. This writing group is good…creative folks, very kind, very insightful…The writing and the art are taking turns with the photography, and I am loving these out-of-focus photos so much that I might start printing them on fabric and using them in art quilts…later, later!
