I take any advice I can see, hear or read. I was visiting a new friend, the same name as mine, Jack Darnell He took me into his storage room..There were racks and racks of note books he had filled, Temp and weather for every day from mid 1950's until the day I visited. Stories he had 'made up'. A publisher had taken him on and published for him. She had added an H. to his name H Jack DArnell to keep us separate. jack said, "I'd write if no one read it." Although we are no kin, I feel the same, but I am not as diligent.<br />Thanks for the advice.jack69https://www.blogger.com/profile/12884137603402812926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-76976688781271732052015-11-05T09:10:40.842-06:002015-11-05T09:10:40.842-06:00I aim, darn smart phones...I aim, darn smart phones...living from glory to gloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07123718369605106023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-34768105892968289612015-11-05T09:09:32.210-06:002015-11-05T09:09:32.210-06:00Hi I do write everyday, I journal.

That helps me eliminate ambiguity. If I can eliminate ambiguity and still keep it concise, I feel triumphant.<br />When I'm describing the visual aspects of something, I try not to assume the reader is already visualizing what I'm seeing.<br />I thoroughly enjoy writing on my own schedule. If I feel pressured to write, that dries up my creative juices.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05198585505712843153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-47038530069982270412015-11-04T21:37:13.508-06:002015-11-04T21:37:13.508-06:00I'll stick with writing and maybe knitting fro...I'll stick with writing and maybe knitting from time to time.
