On Her One-Liners


Read 'Em Here.

Welcome to the Writer's Process Blog Tour Project.

One of my nearest and dearest "writer friends" (yet so much more) asked if I wanted to be included in a game of virtual "blog" tag, where we link out to blogs we adore (for me-hers, as I am an an avid addict of her one-liners which make me want to grow, engage, shout, and laugh out loud) while making a note or two on how and why we write what we do (see questions below if you're really curious).  I agreed, of course, to answer these four seemingly simple questions only to immediately feel regret and extreme self-consciousness about not having this thing called a "writing process" in the first place-and also boring you to pieces-because, hey, anyone can throw a three to five sentences onto a computer screen and call it talent.

Yet here goes...

What am I working on?
Constantly trying to capture the mundane yet magical moments in life through other people's words (aka posted articles and blogs; oh, here's another!) that I am confident my fellow online dabblers (you) are as aware of and mystified by as I am.

How does my work differ from others of its genre?
I'm not sure that it does but every once in awhile I'll admit to a rant about an etiquette that both my eighteen to twenty-five average daily readers (and myself) are most certainly guilty of while pretending to be as innocent as the next.  I feel so worried on those mornings that my posts will inevitably offend and so I'll email my aforementioned writer friend for validation and forgiveness, after which she always encourages my bravery to call people out since, after all, who doesn't put their best facebook profile pic forward?  And on those days I actually get between one and four "likes".  (Ah, the small pleasure in e-life!) 
 
Why do I write what I do?
Life-and the people in it-fascinate me as much as they do you, in particular how we connect through a visual stimulation that has nothing to do with knowing one another, seeing each other, tasting, smelling, touching or otherwise, and everything to do with our imaginations.
 
How does your writing process work?
With a whole lot of threats to quit writing altogether.
