Went to the computer lab today. Typed and printed some of our writing. Began a journal entry with sentence fragments - that's how tired I am; writing makes me tired. I have absolutely no stamina whatsoever.
What a grammatically incorrect paragraph. I can already tell this will not be my best journal entry, even though I am writing it outside and probably look like a very smart person to passing pedestrians. People that write outside (as opposed to walking, playing, or sitting and talking) always look smart as they're doing it.
I should write outside more often.
Even though I'm writing in complete sentences, you can still tell I'm tired. I haven't used one descriptive metaphor yet, not once.
Your notes remind me a character in Mark Twain's story called "The Pickwick Papers." A person who was taking notes for the club, whereever they had adventures, made people around him really nervous about why he was watching them and what he was writing...
I never really thought about it before, but you are correct. People writing outside do look smart. A writing teacher told me once to write whenever you can and not to worry about how it sounds, just write. Every time you write you get a little bit better. BTW, I think that writing while you are tired shows stamina.
Writing outside sounds like fun. Were you in a park or just on a city street? I wouldn't be able to get much done on a city street....too much of a people watcher.
Your sense of humor is so refreshing.
