It felt so wonderful to write something just for fun, like I used to as a kid. I'd been thinking about that a lot lately. Something good did come out of my exile due to the wretched flu, after all.
We agreed that writing things because I want to write them, not for something, or because I feel I should, is the way to go.
Funny how the desert is now full of little oasis ponds for me to drink from.
A good night's work I'd say.
PS: A big thank you to the Novelista Barista for my Kreativ Blogger award! Love your work hon!
:) congrats lady!! :)
ReplyDeleteDoing things because you want to I think is definitely a good way to go -- feeling you should must kill creativity faster than a bullet.
ReplyDeleteHope you're out of exile now and the flu is feeling like a distant but unpleasant memory...
Yay for you! And I am glad you are feeling better! Sometimes a little time away is just the thing we need...

Yes sometimes it really frees your creativity up to write for fun. That's part of why I started Blogging I guess. Writing purely for enjoyment can help you move past the 'stuck times. xx

ReplyDeleteSo true, so true. Writing for fun makes you feel so giddy, as opposed to the stuff you feel obliged to do, the writerly equivalent of severe constipation. hehe.
ReplyDeletePS when can the masses read this story? :)
Hopefully soon Shauna! Fingers crossed. I won't leave this one gathering dust on the hard drive!
