writer's practice

a pause....a rest....time off.

guess i took a bit of an un-planned blogger's break.  i'm not in the doldrums and i wouldn't call it a february funk. i'm rather fond of february.

didn't really plan on it.  more like i got out of the practice of meeting up with the keyboard really.

just felt like i did really have much to say, you know, nothing much exciting was happening.

elizabeth berg, one of my fav fiction authors also wrote a non-fiction book years ago about writing called, escaping into the open. this quote, found at the beginning of one of her chapters  really rings true about a writer's purpose. about journaling and blogging. and about this interesting form of communication.

"the greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something, and to tell what they saw in a plain way".  -john ruskin-

communication about life is really just about the plain everyday. most days, something worth telling does happen every day, if you really look for it i guess.
