I actually took this graf as a major challenge,,,and I like challenges. I started it at a time when I knew that I wouldn't be interrupted by the phone ringing, or the dryer sounding off its steady BEEP-BEEP-BEEP. I made sure that the dogs had gone outside and finished their business, then sat down and told myself that I was going to make this happen in less than an hour. ( I think that you're correct in your lecture, if there's a time limit it doesn't leave time to over think things...and I am definitely guilty of that in all aspects of my life.) Even after admitting that fact, I will tell you that I read the assignment Saturday morning and knew that I would not be able to write it until Monday morning while alone in the house. That gave me two days to ponder over the topic, while driving or watching TV. (My husband actually doesn't ask me anymore why I'm sitting there with a blank look staring at the ceiling when we are watching television.) When I found that, some more pondering took place about what would interest anyone else besides me.
P.S.- Thank you for the "freebie", and you made my day with you complement. :)
I usually walk three miles when I want to think about writing, and often can get most of what I want to write in my head while walking. But my preference is to sit at the keyboard and start typing, idea being that I have no idea what I'm thinking until I actually start to write.
