In-flow

I'm experimenting with a different kind of way of writing. It's less rigid and less forced yet still has a focus. I'm writing In-flow, from a place where the words pour out simply and with ease.

Nothing to offer

Perhaps it's because right now I'm tired but I really feel as though I have nothing to say or offer through my blog. But I'm sure I'll have something to show off, Keep you're fingers crossed.

No prior planning

It's very rare that I write a blog post on the spot with no prior planning and minimal editing, I'm too rigid for that. I like to have that spark of an idea come to me which spurs me on to write and luckily I get it often. I have enough thoughts and ideas to … Continue reading No prior planning →
