We did have a lot of Legos scattered about the house, but I never saw the wonderful analogy about them that you see here! It's so true. Small steps are what get the book written. For a second memoir that I'm thinking about starting (while I'm waiting for my editor's response on my first book's revisions) I woke up this morning thinking how I would get out the photographs from my disabled daughter's past (since she is one of the "main characters" in this future memoir), spread them out on a card table, and both of us talk in "scenes" that I'll type into the computer. This is a thought that may work. Your post here resurrected my morning musings. Thank you. You are an excellent writer!<br /><a href="http://ann-jen.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"><i>Ann</i></a>Ann Besthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14628616245339887301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539581256374625880.post-20262091240817818972010-08-28T21:52:36.674-04:002010-08-28T21:52:36.674-04:00Oh, Jody, I can't thank you enough for this po...Oh, Jody, I can't thank you enough for this post!!

Then he lets his imagination take over and builds whatever he wants out of all those little pieces! I'm sure your son does that, too.<br /><br />My reasons for writing: If I don't write, I can't function properly in everyday life. It is something I HAVE to do. I do it for pure enjoyment and I do it because it makes God happy. I do it because I want to be published b/c I want that affirmation from others that my efforts have been worthwhile and b/c I want to just share what God lays on my heart and plants in my mind.<br /><br />Am I working small? I am working so small you would have to place me under a microscope to detect any activity!

I suppose it's both because I feel compelled to put words on the screen and because I think I have something to say. But even more than that, it's because every time I get frustrated enough to let a tiny part of my brain think of stopping, I can feel some part of me begin to dry up and wither. It took me a long time to figure this out, but writing is part of who I am--thank goodness.Tracy Hahn-Burketthttp://www.UnchartedParent.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539581256374625880.post-67304092589472758162010-08-27T11:28:20.362-04:002010-08-27T11:28:20.362-04:00Love the Lego analogy.

The thing is, I'm also my own worst taskmaster and can't stop obsessing, until I've managed to get the story out of my head.<br /><br />My biggest lesson this year, don't force it. In the end whatever you're working on looks, sounds, and appears forced and you lost all enjoyment. (Hugs)IndigoSage Ravenwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17143502548162174269noreply@blogger.com
