doodle
“I would recommend the short story form, which is a lot harder to write since you have to be so careful with words, until there is plenty of time to doodle through a novel.” (anne mccaffrey)
i haven’t been writing a lot lately, my words seem to slip through the cracks of my thoughts. i also haven’t been painting or drawing much, my hands prefering to help nature with her colours in my garden. but i have been doodling, a lot. pen and ink stains on bits of paper, sticky notes and work agendas, notebooks and smudges in the sand. i think doodling is a way of relaxing and letting your brain wander around on its own without a push in any direction.
as june smiles down on me and i see a full calender made fuller by my crazy early morning exercise schedule, i suspect there will be more doodles and i am somehow okay with that. i love this time of year when my energy is high as the days get longer and longer and longer still.
happy doodling.
