Good morning, Twfw. O/

Words at dawn.

Morning pages are a kind of industry standard among writers. Wake up, start with what you love. The act of writing, once learned and established, is such a simple thing to do. And so, writing is often an 'I'll get to it later' activity.

If writing is your love and choice of profession, why give anything else the opportunity to get in the way?

Until the circumstances of life best support what we love best, what we love best has to be put first.

...

Why share these journal entries at all?

The answer is one of my favorite words: Juxtaposition.

With all the text on all the lighted screens all over the world here's another use for words.

Remember?

No two people are ever exactly the same. Our expressions show the world this.

Words are our greatest tool; we shape dreams with them.

For a writer a dream is the starting point and the desired outcome.

We paint dreams with words to share.

Remember?

The Internet came along like that woodpecker at dawn the past few mornings... drumming its beak, making it harder to hear the songbirds.

So I'm a poet prolific every morning so we remember our words do more than drum.

Syllables can sing! Symbols can wave a Good Morning you can feel. O/

There's more to life and words than what a computer can do.

Thought you might like to remember.

Thanks for reading.
