April 2016
This month I will be participating in the “Blogging from A-Z Challenge”
What is it?
Blogging every day. It begins on April First with a topic themed on something with the letter A, then on April second another topic with the letter B as the theme, and so on until I finish on April thirtieth with the theme based on the letter Z. The theme of the day is the letter scheduled for that day.
Journey
When I write I journey through the deep recesses of my inner sanctum.
My route is rarely planned. I typically wind up in a completely different place than where I originally intended to go. In fact, I am routinely derailed by a road block in which case I may stop to rest. But if I'm on a roll and am anxious to get on with the trip, I will take a chance on the road less traveled.
There are times when I come to a fork in the road, guided by my sensible side, I will want to play it safe by taking the familiar right-hand turn. I have found, though, my experience is more rewarding when I decide to be daring and take a sharp left to jostle down a bumpy road. It can be a dark path filled with ditches and scary things. But, as I slowly travel along, I begin to see a glimmer of light which grows brighter and brighter, fully illuminating by the time I reach my destination.
I am always curious about the experiences of others who write.
Do you disappear for awhile, like I do, totally immersed in an imagination joyride?
I don't write per se, but my imagination does take me on interesting journeys at times :)

Why, Betty, you tell the most interesting of stories!
DeleteIt's been so long since I've immersed myself in writing a story, I miss it. I don't think this will be my month either.
ReplyDeleteI do miss writing too. It's one of the reasons I do the challenge.
DeleteI spend time planning what I'm going to write before I sit down. Of course, the planning stages can take me to some interesting destinations.
ReplyDeleteNo, not me. I'm definitely not a planner. I guess that's why the A-Z is challenging for me.
DeleteI'm not a great planner so my stories seem to emerge before my eyes and I often have no idea to where they'll be heading! Your stories always seem so neat and well wrapped I can't believe you just write and see what happens!

Yes, that's the way I do it. I have been telling stories that way for my whole life.
DeleteI love journeys and what I love most about them is the effect they have.One is never the same after a journey.
ReplyDeleteThat's true, especially if you keep your eyes open.
DeleteI do write but my imagination has always been taking me on journeys of many kinds.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to that :)
DeleteI definitely disappear and sometimes I return to reality with a jolt.
ReplyDeleteYes, that happens to me when I am rudely interrupted by the dog barking or my husband talking to me.
