Sometimes people think that writers often spend a lot of time well… writing. That the words just flow out of our fingers at rapid fire. Let me tell you that is not always true. Sometimes we have the thoughts and ideas and can even visualize what we want to say, but there are too many words all jumbled up and flying through our minds. Imagine having a ton of sugar you are trying to pour into a funnel. There comes a point that there are too many granules of sugar fighting to get through the funnel that the funnel gets clogged and the sugar stops flowing. Or you can imagine an episode of the Three Stooges when they all try to walk through the door at the same time…it just doesn’t work.
Writing is a bit of a similar situation. You have a thought or idea, toss it around in your head a bit, process it, then it funnels through the channels in your head, down through your arm, into your fingers, through the pen and onto the paper.
Well, for me the words have been there, the thoughts and ideas are present as well, but they are stuck in the funnel. So I’m still mulling them over, doing a lot of processing and praying in order to unclog the doorway and get the words flowing again.
Thank you for continuing to check in here. I appreciate your support of this little blog.
