I'm glad you liked the imagery :)<br /><br />Typhyn, I hope you -are- finding time to write. I appreciate your comments. I'm going to swing over your way and see what you've been up to.<br /><br />Tom, avoiding that restless feeling is another reason I write, or travel, or write about traveling... Gotta keep moving!

Sometimes I program, sometimes I play the guitar or draw. For the last few years it's been writing.

It allows me a glimpse of clarity in my muddled mind. Once the thoughts or words are released from my fingertips I find everything more organized and more space available upstairs. It is a release of varying sorts with self education as a reward. <br />So it really isn't the question of why do I write, but when can I write.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02243204198734834997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18149076.post-58391018013321315112014-02-13T20:53:42.135-07:002014-02-13T20:53:42.135-07:00"I admit I enjoy the romantic notion of sitti..."I admit I enjoy the romantic notion of sitting at a computer, a cup of tea steaming while the clickity clacking sounds of brilliance being unbound issue from my keyboard."<br /><br />I don't like tea, and I don't claim brilliance in my own writing, but I love the imagery of brilliance being "unbound" from your innermost thoughts. And I think this very sentence is a testament to the point you're making here. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07554437528656081132noreply@blogger.com
