Sometimes that means different styles and forms of poetry, or maybe timed prose writing on a theme can help.

The beauty of free writing is that you can choose the best time of day for you and set your own time limits. The idea is not to have any preconceived ideas or topics but to just go with the flow. It doesn't have to be perfect and no eyes need ever see the results. It's a little like journalling, I guess, but trying not to think before you write. I hope you're inspired by my efforts to have a go for yourself! Thanks for reading and responding. :)Joy Lentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03486637586238798088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643092331729126387.post-43672796558305174672016-02-18T18:53:34.061+00:002016-02-18T18:53:34.061+00:00My biggest issue is finding time and head-space to...My biggest issue is finding time and head-space to write - but I'm interested in your suggestion of free-writing. Maybe that would help me to use what time I have more effectively!

My hope and prayer is always to help others to see the light of God's presence and find hope and encouragement in the words I share. xJoy Lentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03486637586238798088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643092331729126387.post-83964626865337240822016-02-18T15:07:40.791+00:002016-02-18T15:07:40.791+00:00Thank you for this inspiring piece, Joy.

I don't think that you need to worry that you will miss the things that God has placed all around; I think He has given you ears to hear and eyes to see as well as the gift of gently opening others' eyes to those treasures through your words.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05559604728716256864noreply@blogger.com
