Lately I have be...Paula, your words caught my eye! Lately I have been having some problems with posting, too. I have been truly enjoying my time in the studio and it seems as though blogging sometimes stops that a bit. As I read your post, it occurred to me that the reason constant blogging stopped me in the studio is because it makes the words come into my head rather than the images or the feeling I need to get the images. When I blog, I tend to prattle on and on saying very little. If I don't think about what I am going to say, then I can let the feeling of the images come for my studio time. So I say blog when you have something to say and paint when you do not! LOL<BR/><BR/>I tried the list thing...it did not work for me. I knew I could not be confined to the Monday is such and such day on the blog either...so I did not try that.<BR/><BR/>Now I am into just blogging when the urge strikes me!<BR/><BR/>Make the list for talking to your mother. Good idea there.<BR/><BR/>Hugs, Paula!Andrea and Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15337904921232330088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30701581.post-8325282730454695642009-03-12T16:45:00.000-06:002009-03-12T16:45:00.000-06:00Hi Paula,I don't usually write much on my blog.

But when I do write it's sometimes the result of reading a post at someone else's blog that sparks an idea in my mind.<BR/><BR/>David (Authorblog) tried to nudge me into writing... so, I began writing haikus. Now I have a ton of haikus which I plan on using as subjects for paintings.<BR/><BR/>Are you a "listener"? I am... and it is difficult and energy draining for me to have conversations with people who I don't know very well.<BR/><BR/>hee-hee I certainly am talking a lot right now.<BR/><BR/>For your mom... I think making notes beforehand is a good idea. Tell her things you observe, things you've done, places you've gone, recipes you've cooked and ask her questions about herself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30701581.post-67061375807811040222009-03-11T08:43:00.000-06:002009-03-11T08:43:00.000-06:00I can totally relate to you about the "not knowing...I can totally relate to you about the "not knowing what to say" thing. When I started my blog, I just wanted it to be about art and not much more, but I always think I should be saying more. I like your idea of writing down topics.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15277818737631498725noreply@blogger.com
