When my head is clear and my brain is calm I can write so much better than when I feel as though I'm forcing every word. My best writing comes when I don't look at the screen, and sometimes not even at the keyboard, but just type what comes into my head. If I do this, it is as though there is flow to what I'm writing and I barely have to think about what is coming, especially when I am trying to create a narrative.
Tonight I revised a proposal for a conference presentation in Claremont, CA in May. Mormon Scholars in the Humanities is having their annual conference and the theme this year is the family and human relationships. So I took a piece of my dissertation writing and proposed an idea, including some of my art work. We'll see what they think!
Way to go! You'll enjoy making your presentation (I am assuming you'll be selected). I actually presented once at a national conference--National council on Family Relations, I think--very rewarding. You'll do great!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I can't wait to see how that turns out!
ReplyDeleteOh- and this is Little Ernie's second time with strep this month. I'm disinfecting everything and replacing all the toothbrushes. I really hope no one else gets it too.
I agree with the writing comment. That's exactly how I am. Also, that would be really cool if you got to go to Claremont. It's a really pretty town, very close to Glendora.
