What I will Miss
Another March SOL challenge is nearing its end. And I shall miss many parts of this shared experience: The urgency and structure of writing every day. The empty screen and then the writing miraculously unfolding. The noticing of life in a deeper way The stories that emerge out of the ordinary The insights and inspiration found in reading all those amazing posts The affirmation that “I am a writer.” “Writers live twice. They go along with their regular life, are as fast as anyone in the grocery store, crossing the street, getting dressed for work in the morning. But there's another part of them that they have been training. The one that lives every second at a time. That sits down and sees their life again and goes over it. Looks at the texture and details.” ― Natalie Goldberg, Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within
