Mahima,
went to write some in my blog and saw your last comment. I tried going to this site but couldn't.
Am curious to know what is there!

......have wanted to think more about the scanner question...

finding it difficult because I have spent so many years following one course...which did not leave me with much time or energy to "be myself", I think.

But I do know that it feels possible. If it is something that helps me understand myself better...I want to know.

Thanks so much for your comment...to hear positive words about my writing is "weird"...I guess it surprises me since I don't recall anything good about my past writing...other than how it needed many corrections and was often redundant and wordy.

Now I notice how I love to use the (.)as in ..... like that. When I think too hard about writing, I find that what I write is not how I would be talking and so I feel it wouldn't be representative of the way I am thinking. Anyway.......

Thanks again. will hope to figure something out. Really appreciate your support.--Jen

Hi again...
back to my blog...saw comment!
how wonderful that you are so open to so many experiences and are so young and energetic...
oh to be just graduating from college....with so much to consider and not being tied down to one goal...
I am 37 and wish I were thinking the thoughts I am thinking now...back then.

Absolutely, I'd love to go exploring neighborhoods with you if you, show you around.if you ever make a trip this way...I wish that I had more opportunity on a regular basis to go wandering. I like when an area is new to me and there are so many new things to see...which is the case now. I like the idea of seeing places "off the beaten path" ...

I think it is good that I found your comment...since, now I realize how tired I am and even though I was thinking of blogging...I think I will enjoy it more after some rest. :)

And when I am wanting to do something artsy..will be thinking of your mail art.

jen:

on writing: if wordy is not how you want to be, its still an ok way to begin. re-read and edit yourself.
if iyou don't mind being wordy, that's just fine too. nobody has to stick to some external rulebook of whats good writing and what isnt.
sometimes, a piece strikes you for its accuracy and conciseness.
at other times, it moves you out of genuineness of feeling, which has nothing to do with wordiness or the lack of it.
so as long as you're writing what you're feeling or what you want to say, its fine. :)
if you feel, however, that it somehow stops you from expressing yourself completely accurately, perhaps you can start adding small changes to your writing. like editing repetitive words. deleting non-words: like ummm etc.

on being a scanner:
i guess the simplest way to think about what all you love to do is to pivture yoursel;f doing them. or go through old possessions of yours and see if there's a pattern that you'd forgotten: like a journal with doodles in it. or writing. or love letters. or clay masks. or a musical instrument. ..anything.

love,
