Today is the day I share six random sentences about the first things that pop into my head. Enjoy.
- I know it sounds funny, but my favourite way to write is the old fashioned pen-and-paper technique, 'cause my thoughts flow almost too quickly when I write, and my hand can keep my thoughts in line.
- Computers can be inspiring - I mean, there's internet, for one thing, emails, websites, games, google chat, youtube, all that kind of illuminating and thought-jogging stuff - but it's a time-waster as well.
- When I'm alone in the house, I sing to high songs, like Phantom of the Opera, in order to stretch my vocal chords and try to reach that high E.
- My first revision process is to transcribe what I've written on paper to computer, editing as I transfer the printed word onto the typed word.
- I prefer dogs over cats.
- I have a terrible weakness for chocolate.
See you next week for six sentences.
1. I use a combination of typing and pen and paper writing.
ReplyDelete2. I never turn my computer off during the day. (It sleeps when I sleep.)
3. I love Phantom of the Opera!
4. My first revision occurs when I write. Each day I revise what I wrote the day before. It's a nice warm up and it gets me into the voice before I write more.
5. I prefer dogs over cats too. I do have one of each though.
6. I'm a dark chocolate girl. Milk chocolate doesn't do it for me.
Five and six are way cool!
ReplyDeleteFun post! I wish I could compose with pen and paper still, but the computer has crushed that ability for me.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could write with pencil and paper still, but the computer has squashed that ability!
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes, I agree that revising in that manner is a good warm-up!
I still love using the computer, but for me that's my "revision" process. Thoughts flow so much better when I'm using a notebook and paper. Weird, eh?
