I always carry a notebook and pen so I can write wherever I am and sometimes that even means while standing on a curb, if the curb is all that's around when a good thought occurs to me. Thoughts occur when there is space for them and the space forms when walking, drinking coffee, doing laundry, washing dishes, cooking, sometimes even while reading (I know the reading seems odd, but it happens). As far as separating the wheat from the chaff, I just reread (often aloud) and edit and move forward with what I like.Denise | Chez Danissehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06418226690328176970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232927064230838150.post-14146675800164473622012-01-14T03:38:15.902-08:002012-01-14T03:38:15.902-08:00I, too, create scenarios for the strangers around ...I, too, create scenarios for the strangers around me while trying not to stare.Michele | Cooking At Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00306628077661412905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232927064230838150.post-27391697277246593482012-01-13T11:14:13.828-08:002012-01-13T11:14:13.828-08:00I'm glad to see there are other curious souls ...I'm glad to see there are other curious souls out there.

I'm looking to squeeze a little more writing into my days and wonder if these observations are something of a routine? If they are, this begs a second question: How do you cull through this writing, separating the wheat from the chaff?Rachael | The Slow-Cooked Sentencehttp://theslowcookedsentence.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232927064230838150.post-80032074619591765262012-01-12T15:33:44.034-08:002012-01-12T15:33:44.034-08:00Bet he was on his way to an AA meeting....the humb...Bet he was on his way to an AA meeting....the humble smile gave it away:)<br /><br />xo J.flwrjanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14905305551745652868noreply@blogger.com
