Hmmm... dontcha just wish sometime you could record your thoughts or emotions
for later? I see what you mean about not having the time to just sit down
and write. Sometimes I go through a couple of pages in my mind on the way
to class ("pages" meaning what would be pages if I had written them down)
but when I do have the time to write them out, I can't remember them....
A suggestion, though: FIND the time! Set aside an hour here or there;
don't log on to Athena, don't study--just write. It may be that you have to
wait a few weeks for that opportunity, but it will come along. I'm going
to do that as soon as my laundry is done (watch--I'll get writer's block).
By the way, I've seen blurbs about people wanting a poetry meeting.
Has this been done? If not, may I suggest that one be created, but as
a "writing" meeting, for poetry _and_ prose, not just poetry? Of
course, one shouldn't post a twenty page short story, but I've always
wanted to discuss writing techniques with other people....
