The research part is usually a fun thing. Especially if it involves a trip to some paradise...<br /><br />Erhm. Sorry.<br /><br />You are correct in saying that ALL writing is practice, whether it's on email or Twitter or Facebook, or grocery lists! <br /><br />And practice makes for good writing.<br /><br />Uh, this is not an example of that last sentence but I made an undrinkable pot of coffee and all I drank was water so ... <br /><br />Anyway, thank you for the reminders!Marisa Birnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17945909737147497606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7863232418644698077.post-67211576233978553302010-04-12T09:48:33.919-04:002010-04-12T09:48:33.919-04:00You can indeed learn something from just about any...You can indeed learn something from just about anybody.

My husband, the man I write about with such sarcasm, in truth suffered a major stroke ten years ago that robbed him of speech, the ability to understand language, the ability to read and to write. He triumphed. That gave me enough emotional depth to last a lifetime...thanks so much for visiting. mollyMOLLYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15066029433051846841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7863232418644698077.post-11927419229260196742010-04-11T19:34:48.684-04:002010-04-11T19:34:48.684-04:00Very good post, good lady.

When you break them, do so deliberately and with full knowledge of what you're doing... otherwise you're just screwing around. Says I, anyway. :)<br /><br />Two modifications I'd make, 'cause I can't leave well enough alone... :)<br /><br />1. Write what you know and can imagine, as long as what you imagine is grounded in what you know.<br /><br />2. Feel something, and preferably something big. Then take those feelings and put them in your writing. The best writing makes us laugh, cry, shudder, empathize. That's much harder to do if you're closed off to feeling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7863232418644698077.post-28369719457382706452010-04-11T18:53:04.571-04:002010-04-11T18:53:04.571-04:00very good advice, I will keep in mindvery good advice, I will keep in mindbebipeluchahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15694896755759220139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7863232418644698077.post-27117466826253341362010-04-11T17:49:20.629-04:002010-04-11T17:49:20.629-04:00I appreciate all this tweeting!
