It doesn't matter if it's garbage. Punch the keys. Eventually, it won't be so much garbage. Punch the keys.<br />(Okay, I think I used one of Margie Lawson's rhetorical devices, but can't remember it's name. LOL) You want something to freeze your fingers? Study her packets. But to get the most from her you have to punch the keys. And so I have, and so will you. <br />We have to go the the mountain top for the inspiration, but then we live in the real world, and we punch the keys. <br />Wow, girl that's you standing with Nora! Get busy. Punch the keys.Marshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08010048187355215576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6150179607441468539.post-11964964670303746392012-08-02T09:53:16.272-05:002012-08-02T09:53:16.272-05:00I had this experience after I went to the Museum o...I had this experience after I went to the Museum of the American Quilter...I couldn't pick up a needle and thread for weeks. There is just NO WAY I am ever going to be able to make anything that beautiful.<br /><br />But I got over it, and I made some quilts that pleased me, and even sold a few.<br /><br />Before I got side tracked and decided to give writing a go...so I'm hoping that this is the same thing. Just take a deep breath and dive back in!Teri Anne Stanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15500524348027951939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6150179607441468539.post-63257093525654808662012-08-02T09:41:51.395-05:002012-08-02T09:41:51.395-05:00It's going to be all right Dawn. :)
To some e...It's going to be all right Dawn. :)<br /><br />To some extent, it is about getting the words on paper because you can't improve what you haven't written.<br /><br />It's hard to write after learning so much because it's whirling about in your brain, so let it settle. Take what resonates and works with your writing style and forget the rest.<br /><br />Take a breath and refresh your muse with TV, movies, books, and music. Then come back to the writing.Jen FitzGeraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15746163660525324335noreply@blogger.com
