January 16, 2006 GRANTED: LIKE A WISH FROM A GENIE Some people think that I have to have inspiration before I sit down to a blank page. Not true. Once, I had a quiet and pensive moment, and a friend said, "You're going to write about this in your website aren't you?" I had a puzzled look on my face, because I was puzzled as to why someone would (a) think such a thing, let alone (b) say it out loud at a funeral. I was in no state of mind to discuss the future content of my website at that moment, so I just silently shook my head, making the most chiding expression I could muster. That's a difficult expression. It comes in handy when scolding one's kids from across a room without saying a word. Granted (like a wish from a genie), there are definitely
times that the content reflects actual events and experiences (i.e.
inspiration). But at other times, I just sit down to the blank field
and begin typing. The letters just spill out, and then I have to arrange
them into coherent sentences.
