It does have that feeling, like a glimpse into another reality. And no, no technological tinkering of any kind (I haven't the know-how).

I often find my inspirations while walking in the woods, especially for poetry.

In the words of a song from the musical SOMETHING ROTTEN (about the brothers who came up with the first musical while competing with William Shakespeare for an audience), "it's good sentiment and good advice."Paula Gail Bensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08843350597811462936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-19005505908854377972016-04-26T10:12:24.021-04:002016-04-26T10:12:24.021-04:00They say necessity is the mother of invention, but...They say necessity is the mother of invention, but I think accident may be the father. The hardest thing I do as a writer is fight the urge to clean up every mess I make on the page before it's had a chance to soak in, as it were. I'm happy to hear that other writers have their own wordy messes (although I wonder if Shakespeare ever did).Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05843235860651070479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-62326959869703869212016-04-26T09:13:54.541-04:002016-04-26T09:13:54.541-04:00I'm wading through words searching for the bea...I'm wading through words searching for the beauty within.

Perhaps like me, you'll find a rainbow in the ruin." I hope you are right. I have quite the wordy mess on my hands right now, and I'm excavating for beauty.<br /><br />Love the photo and the happy accident that made it possible.<br />Julie Tollefsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01579825918764925361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-61379047959355983722016-04-26T07:26:46.598-04:002016-04-26T07:26:46.598-04:00Fun picture that you caught, Tina.

We can read Shakespeare (with a little assistance for ancient meanings); I suspect Will would have some difficulties reading modern stories that rely on cell phones, airplanes and the like.Jim Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15090252530437277145noreply@blogger.com
