For me, writing is like building a house out of Lincoln Logs.
You need an idea. A blueprint of what you want to create.
For both a house and your writing, a strong foundation needs to be set.
When you first begin, it looks like nothing. An unpromising slate. You have trouble getting started. It takes some elbow grease and willpower. Your imagination is key.
But once you find your rhythm, you cannot be stopped. The words flow from your mouth and the only thing you are looking for is that feeling of accomplishment. You have to set up the framework and go from there.
Start from the ground up. Ease into it and take your time. Be accurate and inspect your craftsmanship.
Heck yeah! Lincoln logs! I love this. But...do you need THAT much willpower to create a building of lincoln logs? :)
ReplyDeleteI'm almost certain that Lincoln Log construction doesn't require a blueprint; nevertheless, I delight in your metaphor. An idea need build up from the ground.
ReplyDeleteStart from the ground Up, just like lincoln logs. Enjoyed the metaphor, very...i want to say foundational. haha.
ReplyDeleteWhen you play with Lincoln Logs like I do, you need a hell of a lot of willpower and a very detailed blueprint ;)
