Working from the Notebook

Happy St. Patrick’s Day.

I didn’t wear green today. I forgot, actually. I wasn’t the only one.

I’ve been composing most of my entries in a notebook. My intent, of course, is to post them later, although most of what I’m writing these days should be left in the notebook. It’s either too personal or lacks sufficient quality.

I’m letting these entries cook a bit. I like top-’o-the-head kind of thinking: It certainly has its value. But I also think a well-worded note as a summary of an entire day is worth more to the creative mind than a dump of every single detail. Time will tell, of course.

“Vision Reconciliation.”

Just testing…

  1. I kept a notebook for several years, but haven’t kept it up in a very long time. I’ve always been more of an off-the-cuff, extemporaneous writer for the most part. Although I DO work on some of my pieces quite a long time with lots of editing.

    I’d like to see you post some of your notebook entries, Ray.

    I miss you!
