A New Day . . .


. . . a new daisy.  Actually, it's the same daisy, but in a whole different way.  I'm thinking about revision a lot these days, about re-seeing not just writing, but life in general.  Todd and I revised our whole life this year, which meant a radical departure and a coming home, which isn't all that unusual, as Dorothy and Toto once learned a long time ago.   

If you're looking for this week's Freewrite Friday, it's over at its new home at The Magpie's Pen, where we're thinking about animals today.  We'll be talking about revising over there in the coming weeks, too.  Writing is good, but revising is even better, especially when you know that there are others out there cheering you on.  Writing, like life, can be such lonely work, which is one of the many reasons I started up The Magpie's Pen.  Even lone wolves need to know that there's someone else in the forest to hear their howl.

I hope your weekend will be filled with good things.  My plans include a visit to a maple sugar house.  A good thing, indeed.

  6. A maple house, oh how fun! That is something I haven't done, there aren't any in the Portland region. Revising and change are good things.

  10. I can hear you howling, my friend. You are not alone. In your new blog, or here, or in life. Thinking of you.
