At Green Lake Christian
Writers Conference last summer, one of the things our instructor encouraged us
to do was to spend the first waking minutes writing the first thoughts that
came to mind. That sure didn’t work for me; my first waking minutes are spent
in a complete daze. But it was great to spend that week at the Conference
spending ten or fifteen random minutes each day writing the first thing that came
to mind. It is a good exercise to get the creative juices flowing.
Unfortunately, that entire
ten or fifteen minutes of random writing went right out the window as soon as I
got home. With so many other things to write, who has time to write off the top
of your head?
I think I need to try to
reestablish that practice, if only as a form of journaling to clear the
thoughts. And heaven knows, I need my thoughts cleared a lot. Just like Mary,
our Green Lake instructor.
Whenever I am feeling down all I have to do is think of this picture of Mary and I start to laugh!
