Sometimes, the words flow better to paper. Other times, direct to screen. Not sure just what triggers the change.Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-53166868949784292192013-08-23T11:55:35.917-04:002013-08-23T11:55:35.917-04:00Doubting my writing abilities?

Almost all of my stories start out as scribbles in my writing book or notes taken on my iphone- phrases and random facts- and then I flesh them out once I start typing. It's a sentimental proces for me and I could see how leaving it and then returning to it would be eye-opening.<br />Bevimushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14924337684790883853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-53866228940165574652013-08-23T00:56:46.351-04:002013-08-23T00:56:46.351-04:00I don't know if those are phases or if they...I don't know if those are phases or if they're moods. I think they're moods for me, shabby things that cast over me from time to time and clog up pragmatism and projects. We can't ever let that crap get in the way of doing the work, though, Larry.

I plan to keep going!<br /><br />Tony, and I keep wondering why you do. I'm hoping the Grammarian will knock that out of you for a while. ;-)<br /><br />Good point, Patricia!Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-5586833932640890572013-08-22T10:44:15.761-04:002013-08-22T10:44:15.761-04:00The I suck and can't write moments always stri...The I suck and can't write moments always strike when you least expect it. That's why it's good to have friends and writing buddies who are your cheerleaders.
