About Casper? I wrote a story about him too – and he was SuperDog. I still have the book somewhere. Who knows where.

Great writing exercise! I remember my first story. It was about my first dog. I gave him superhuman powers in the story and there were UFOs in it, of course. Thanks for prompting me to recall the first story I wrote.

Comment on New Journal Writing Book For People Living With Brain Injury by Marilyn Lash

Telling Your Story will help indivduals and veterans with brain injury on several levels. It is a tool to develop insight into the impact of a traumatic brain injury on one’s life, whether it is returning to work or communicating with a spouse or changing friendships. The emotional trauma that accompanies the physical trauma to the brain is so complex, yet it often receives less attention from health care professionals. Journaling is a process that helps survivors sift through their changing emotions as they rebuild their lives. Journaling is also a therapeutic means of strengthening cognitive (thinking and learniing) skills through the process of telling one’s story. Barbara Stahura and Susan Schuster have done a remarkable job of developing a workbook that gives a voice and a mechanism for survivors to tell their story. Lash and Associates is proud to be the publisher of new new book.

This is not mine, it is the writing of William Blake, but it has been fuel for much of my other writing for years.
” He who binds to himself a Joy/ Does the winged life destroy/ But he who kisses the bird as it flies/ Lives in Eternities sunrise?”
And; “I contradict myself, very well then I contradict myself, I contain multitudes” Walt Whitman
I am an essayist not poet, but it is poetry that maintains the sanity to write!

Comment on Just-For-Fun Jump Starter: Writing A Limerick by Lisa Trossarello

Lisa Trossarello — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 15:01:58 +0000

Writing limericks for me is great fun
But it’s not something easily done.
1-2-5 HAVE to rhyme,
(Not just some of the time)
And if rhythm is off– you’re undone.
