Field Trip?

I think I want to go out and play tonight. Patch will be heading out to faire and ostensibly, I'm planning on spending most of the weekend homebound ('cept for Costco & Dinner) cleaning, in anticipation of my father's arrival on Friday.

Ideas, suggestions, propositions? ;->

On writing

Thanks to everyone who answered my question about computer vs. paper.

For me, I think it's really a matter of mood. There are times when I want to sit outside, or in the bottom of the closet. Having the visceral sensation of putting pen to paper and just writing full bore is crucial to the end result during those times. But this is also a system by which I don't let myself edit as I go. If I find myself thinking to hard, I push through it and keep writing. It's about pouring your thoughts and feelings out.

When I then transfer those onto computer for editing, I do start editing on the fly. But I find having an original on paper is helpful when I go back to look at my past work. It shows me my thought processes and the organic nature of my work.

On the otherhand, I do a lot of work straight to computer. Usually my column is done like that. I sit down and type like a mad woman, spell check, read aloud, change some things, reprint and hand to Patch for editing.

But there are always those times in which I long for a nice writing desk, good paper and a dip pen, so that I can orchestrate language with an artistic flare from moment one.

Field Trip!!!

sushicaddy and I are going to Bunker tonight. I'd love to see folks I know!
