Common: creative, thoughtful, paying attention to word selection and flow, work (I am sure there is more...)
Not in common: different parts of my intelligence seem activated when editing or writing. Editing is less fun for me.
And you know, the more I think about it the less different they do seem to be from each other—except for the fun part!
As I have been doing much more editing of late maybe I am seeing this all in fog.
In any event, I am glad I have been rumbling around with these thoughts. I feel less tamed by dragons and more ready to let the words and edits fly in all directions. An egg is an egg is an egg yet each is from a different bird.
I know what you mean by a fog while editing. I'm taking a much needed break right now from that very thing.

Thanks Catherine! Breaks are so important...on my way to explore your blog...
ReplyDeleteBreaks are important! And editing is never the same as writing, or as fun . . . unless I write new stuff on the side while I'm editing. It's the only way I can keep it going in the right direction.
