Another prompt from Levy. I would impress myself if I actually wrote something for my blog every day. My excuse recently is that I have been working on an article for Canadian Modern Combato Magazine on Noor Inayat Khan, one of the most famous secret agents of World War II. I would impress myself if I got that article written. It has been a long time since I have written something like this, a formal essay as it were on a non-fiction topic. I recall writing informal essays of opinion in high school. You didn't have to worry about fact checking or putting researched material in your own words. It's a challenge but I like it. What else? Today was kind of unproductive. I got the grass cut and I went to the Stronger You anniversary party and I rode for one hour. That's it. So I would impress myself if I got some writing done. But let's think about the future. I would impress myself if I took this course I'm thinking about. It's going to be a major undertaking, given what I am already doing, all the projects I have on the go. Summer's almost over which means less free time, and getting back to karate and preparing workouts and classes. Also, the nutrition seminar on september 20th and the sammy stick seminar on november twenty something. It's overwhelming but all good. The only thing I would change is the job itself but that's what allows me to do all this other stuff so I'm sticking with it for now. Oh, I just thought of something that would really impress me: if I could get myself to start drawing again. That would be huge. Well, that's it: in a nutshell more writing, and drawing, anything. Maybe I should start sketching. Never been very good at that. It's always gotta be something finished. I'll keep that in mind.
About this blog
This blog is intended for freewriting. Freewriting is a term coined by Mark Levy, the author of a brilliant book called "Accidental Genius". The purpose of the book is to help the reader to use writing to generate her best ideas, insight and content. I will be using his techniques on this blog. It is "stream of consciousness" writing so I will go off on tangents. For the purposes of freewriting, that's okay.
By its very nature, freewriting entails freethinking; I will express my opinion on any number of subjects. Feel free to comment but please, no flaming.
