Actually, I have come to the conclusion that it HELPS to write against the season. Because when I am hot, I wish to be cold, and when the wind blows, I wish it wouldn't. So I am writing my wishes, instead of my observations. Wishes are more fun to write, and you are more free to be imaginative. Desire for what you haven't got naturally intensifies the writing too.michelle lovrichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01026972300195225090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-56804350118125628902011-03-23T12:24:18.640+00:002011-03-23T12:24:18.640+00:00Am now at another temperature altogether!
