Travel Since I chose to write about travel, I should be pleased to be travelling. It does however pose problems in terms of writing, since I cannot post while on the move or working. It does provide the inspiration needed however to keep writing.
Whats going on as I or you write. Ask questions about my work or leave examples of your own. I will reply to everything. Mostly, I hope. At least more often than not.
Felt curious enough to go thru the comments here and something caught my attention. Blog buddy huh?…sounds, uhm, promising
Thanks for dropping by mine.

What is the difference between a writer of poetry and a writer of prose, if any?
Are we hardwired differently? There are examples of writers who excel in all areas, but I think we are more generally one or other. I do write short stories, but the process is like pulling teeth. So it is not something I do very often. When I start to write longer pieces I become lost in the trails dtails of description or conversation.
How do other writers deal with this, or is it just that I am disorganised and need to work more on that area. Maybe I need more commitment to complete a longer piece of work.
Let me know what you think.

Hello Jim,
Thank you for posting your kind words and subscribing. I thought you might like random…
AsI read your words (and enjoyed the mental image):
“The world is quiet in the woods,
People pass momentarily,
Time is in the grip of trees.
Just a fragment, unfinished as yet.”
It almost seemed as though that last line could be part of the piece – people passing momentary – fragments of time – just a random act of thinking. Don’t want to put words in you poetry or mouth!
As I studied poetry, it seemed that many teachers wanted everything written in their way, in their style, in their words and by the time they were done with “corrections” – it no longer had a semblence of what I was saying.
I’m not an official buddy so are you doing postaweek or postaday? (I’m old and can’t remember everything – LOL!)
Jim? Is that your name? Found your post in the blog buddy list. I am intrigued by your quest journey. My blog is confusing, sems eclectic, but there is mush poetry there. Some Serious, some not. Some Long, some short… If I can encourage, please leave a post.

You reminded me of me – my first blog before blogging arrived – http://www.randomactsofthinking.com/randomposts.html
Post away!
That would be “much” poetry and “seems” eclectic. Keyboard tangles.

Hi Starbear,
Just had a browse through your original blog, I will keep popping into it, as you say – Random acts of thinking, I like it.
