[stylist] Today's writing

[Barbara Hammel]

I shall try Anne--is it Lammet--the "Bird By Bird" author's idea of writing 
at least 300 words a day.  Don't know how I'll accomplish this because I'm 
not really a doodler.  I have greatly enjoyed her book but am sad to realize 
I'll not be much of a writer because I have no sense of humor.  LOL!
Seriously, I do need to lighten up, though.  My friends would all tell you 
that I'm not the kind to shoot the breeze with but if you want deep 
conversation, I'm your girl.
Maybe that's why my poetry is so, what Bridgit calls whimsical.
I have so enjoyed the writings contributed on this list because they are so 
varied and are fresh voices.
Now what I need to work on is really how to critique someone's work instead 
of just telling them I like it or it's cute.
Does one accomplish this by just saying how the piece could ring more true 
for you if only you'd just ...
Barbara

Subject: [stylist] Today's writing

Today, I am working on writing a poem using information that arrived in my 
in-box this morning.  I have one email address that I use for all purchases 
and business things. This way, all that stuff arrives in only one of my 
email addresses and I can capture it and delete it quickly.  This is the 
email address that I decided to use for gathering images and ideas today - 
we'll see where it goes!  I have visited each of the emails in this 
particular box this morning and gleaned images from each, and then after I 
have breakfast I will begin sifting through the texts and see where it might 
go in a poem.  Yikes, there is so much!  The Overwhelming Mail!
