(On a completely non-related note, I am going to see New Moon at the Plaza tomorrow night.) My writing flowed a lot during my rough draft because I was letting it fall wherever. Now, on my rewrite it is much more deliberate...and slow...definitely not flowing.Jessie Oliveroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06232456334069794107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515903861204137058.post-5862377355474815242009-11-19T20:39:48.012-06:002009-11-19T20:39:48.012-06:00Susan, It's a bit of both I think, but flow is...Susan, It's a bit of both I think, but flow is always what I'm looking to hook up in. It's evasive, but when I'm there, I can feel it. I love it. Sometimes when I'm done, it's crap. But that's okay, too, as long as it gets me past the nothing.jdsanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04658357606303732115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515903861204137058.post-79011072882768694612009-11-19T18:47:12.914-06:002009-11-19T18:47:12.914-06:00I love it when the words flow.

Each drop of water and jet works together to create each display. That is what a good book does for me as well.

It springs from the basin, like the reservoir of our words. When my words fall flat, they simply need some stirring and recirculation.<br />Now there’s a stretch for a metaphor.J.B.
