It is odd that we
never question the feasibility of a football team practicing long hours for one
game; yet in writing we rarely give ourselves the space for practice. [Natalie Goldberg, Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer
Within]
Practise doesn’t always look like practise. Sometimes all I
DO, writing-wise, in a day, is this. And somedays I even skip DOing this. But I
always know that writing is practise. Writing is where I meet myself on the
road and then travel on, happier, mayBE only BEcause I am glad to have the
companionship.
I’ve learned so much about myself both through reading and
writing Gratitude. Each person who writes and shares their writing is an
element of my daily practise. Somedays more, and somedays nothing at all is all
it takes for me to practise writing.
Writing practice
brings us back to the uniqueness of our own minds and an acceptance of it. We
all have wild dreams, fantasies, and ordinary thoughts. Let us to feel the
texture of them and not be afraid of them.Writing is still the wildest thing I
know. [Natalie Goldberg, Wild Mind:
Living the Writer's Life]
Funny… I never realised this great storehouse from which I
write. I never realised how simply writing unearths it, shows it the LIGHT of
day.
I love you, Currie
