BlogHer provides daily prompts for NaBloPoMo. Today’s prompt: ”What is your favourite part about writing?” (… other than the weird way the British throw an extra “u” into half of their words.)
There are times when I am going through something, or thinking through something, and my fingers just itch to spell it all out on my laptop. I like that I can brain-dump all of my thoughts onto the screen, and then rearrange them into something resembling good writing. I like the reorganization of my thoughts into something that sounds like a sane person wrote it, instead of the mishmash of mental post-it notes that I usually have flitting about in my head. I like to make sure it flows and sounds good.
For example, a few months ago, I signed up to give the devotion for our women’s Bible study at today’s meeting. For the last week or two, I’ve been noodling a topic, and certain scriptures have come to mind. However, it wasn’t until a few days ago that I just couldn’t stand it anymore and had to sit down to write it all out. The writing it out, seeing the words on the page, and cutting and pasting and editing are the steps I need to take in order to really think through something.
