Lately I have realized that I am rarely here on my own blog, not that one can physically be on this ethereal place, so I think, but aw, you know; I have not posted for quite a while on my blog. Honestly I know that I don’t do so much because I get distracted, have a job at which I cannot sit in front of any machine and type, am busy with theatre stuff (look up http://www.sheworxx.org) become tired and doubtful, and…wait, that word, doubtful, strikes sharp and is aimed well. I doubt that anything that I have to say is important. Yet, I am a funky paradox, as I put together a number of workshops with writing exercises that I research and use, or which I create, and during those workshops I speak with strength, saying how important it is for one to be aware of the positive significance of their own voice. Our stories are mighty, valuable, and often far-reaching. The blogs of other people move me, in many ways. So, as of today I will take my own advice and write something on my blog; anything may appear. Right now I will actually pick up a pen, go ahead, gasp at my ancient action, and start on an exercise to free my thoughts, loosen my shoulders, and give my stack of ideas new angles. Want to know which one? Of course you do. Open a dictionary, or a thesaurus, and use the guide words at the top of random pages to cue, prompt, quicken writings. Here’s what I’ve picked for today: Kafkaesque-Kindly, Music Hall-Mutation, Sphincter-Spit, Tintinnabulation-Tobacco. There, that is enough to start with. Feel free to pick up your pen, open your laptop, flip through your dictionary/thesaurus and choose your own. Set a timer near you, for 10, 15, 20, 60, minutes, and write without stopping, or editing. Here comes the fun! I will publish mine tomorrow.  We’ll see what timing I pick.
