My experience with jotting down notes is that primarily it doesn’t work for me. The initial zest has flown away. I may remember what to include, but I’m less eager. When it’s right away (for me) there’s a sparkle to it that is lost later. Maybe it’s the momentum that has gone.

Before cohas been written, I would have to wait weeks before I could look at it with new eyes. Of course, the repeated checking it out can be overdone, and there comes a time to simply say: “It’s done.”

Generally speaking, the quicker I write it down, the more it flows, almost as if written by itself. What I think happens is that quickly, it’s more spontaneous — more right brain and nothing to think about really.

The blog entries of yours I have read were so delicious, so exciting and charming. I would love to read more.

I have it from a good Source that one can write with sniffles and chocolate cake!

Also, in case I didn’t say, when you write every day, each entry is easier. I find there is less of a sense of aiming for greatness — okay is okay!

The idea of copying and pasting into notepad! That’s a classic. I can imagine it works so well. Like typing into the comment box of this blog. The writing and font creates a certain kind of feel. Just to confirm, I’m going to copy and paste what I have typed so far into notepad…I’ll be back…it works! The writing took on a different feel.

There’s something else I also tried. I pasted it into Word and changed the font color to blue. That also created a sense of reading with different eyes.

Moments of inspiration. Strike while the iron is hot! Yes! Now my question. Does jotting down notes work for you? Is it sufficient to jot down the highlights or points of what comes to you and then pick up the thread later? Or do you have to write down the whole thing and then polish it off?

I find so many interesting ideas coming by and I always wonder whether I should have written that down. As much as I love writing, I love being quiet. Surely the universe will move me to write when writing is on the menu. Now I’m asking, why don’t I write? Like the other day, I felt like these inspired words were coming through. It was very similar to that Godwriting incident, except that this time I had sniffles and a piece of chocolate cake revolving around my mouth!

I think Godwriting is not something to be remembered and written down later from memory. I think Godwriting has to flow in the moment. Just now, I tried to write down what felt so amazing at the time, and now it feels stern or hard or like chewing cardboard.
