Lesson learned from the world's greatest writers (me!) ~topps
Lesson i learned from the world's greatest writers (greatest writers found via one quick google search).
-has nothing to do with writing itself; the act of writing.
-nothing to do with the construction of sentences, paragraphs, chapters.
-nothing to do with plots, great opening lines or powerful endings
-nothing to do with stretching out a story for effect, or brevity for elegance
-nothing to do with creating storyboards
-nothing to do with vocabulary, or spelling or grammar, -suspense, emotion
-nothing to do with the creation of characters..
on and on, etc.
but it does have to do with ....
exactly why i must leave write now.. bbs /be back shortly...
***
the world's greatest writers -and perhaps this is how they became..
allowed their writing highest priority.
this can result in becoming a great writer; but often did not equate with being a great person; parent; adult child; spouse; sibling; friend; neighbor..
on and on, etc.
the lesson i learned from the world's greatest writers;
prioritization.
there are occasions -few and far between- i allow my writing the highest priority of the day
but i've made people/relationships/domestic responsibilities/conversations/outdoor activities..
i give first place to God, Robert, family, friends, activities with.. arts/crafts; gardening..
on and on etc.
it is not easy. i am often overriding a strong impulse; an inspiration that feels fleeting.. if i don't go write, -write now.. it will be gone..
but i have gained discipline, self-control and am enormously pleased with the results.
true to this lifestyle; and to my desire and ongoing goal of prioritizing correctly -applying the lessons i've learned from the world's greatest writers
i am writing only two haikus today "only TWO!... ONLY TWO... "
[first coffee/conversation; prayer; fixing breakfast; cleaning self up; two important calls; -remaining interruptible... stop/start]
and will restrict my upcoming darwin/natural selection arguments to...
well, i'll try and make my point in under 500 words. -he may have been on to something when it comes to animals, but humans he got all wrong.
in my Lord & Saviors name.. "thank you Jesus!" amen.
