I've ordered it for my shelf of every-expanding books on journals, travel journaling, and of course, just plain writing. Thanks for the recommendation.<br /><br />...davedaveterryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04367790429159340198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-49969614350208120652010-09-27T16:59:29.035-05:002010-09-27T16:59:29.035-05:00#2 sounds just like me.

Enjoying the moments of life takes practice, so, be kind to yourself in the process. <br /><br />Hope your classes are going well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-49815930395822964982010-09-25T10:56:20.695-05:002010-09-25T10:56:20.695-05:00Oh, what a great post!

I especially love the part about slowing down and enjoying the simple pleasures of life.<br /><br />One of my favorite simple pleasures is taking a book to an outside area of a mall, and while reading (or pretending to read), observe the people going by and noticing their behavior, their interactions, etc.<br /><br />This activity used to embarrass my kids when they were teens, but I assured them that I do this all very surreptitiously. Yeah, sure I do! But most people that I watch are so caught up in what they're doing, that they don't notice me noticing them.<br /><br />I sort of fell into this habit when I was a social worker. One of my supervisors in the early years said that "social workers have a license to stare."<br /><br />I think the same could be said about writers.Laurel-Rain Snowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00101090217639410913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-80817165389137909762010-09-25T09:32:24.826-05:002010-09-25T09:32:24.826-05:00I loved this post!

This year I am teaching creative writing, and we do in-class writing exercises, including freewriting and writing to prompts, for about half the class. The students report that writing relaxes them, and the room is completely hushed while we write. I write with them, and this daily practice really helps calm me down.bibliophiliachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495943887513443615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-68439144439120146002010-09-25T09:29:43.995-05:002010-09-25T09:29:43.995-05:00Molly, I always love the writing books you post ab...Molly, I always love the writing books you post about on your blog. I'm reading a book right now called Poemcrazy that sounds similar to this. It has the best no-pressure prompts. I guess you could say it's the training wheels book for poetry writing. <br /><br />Great post...thanks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926593497861922526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-24112370978658454512010-09-25T09:02:14.631-05:002010-09-25T09:02:14.631-05:00I LOVE this!!!!
