I had really nothing to do in class today for a bds, my online class can't continue until my last essay is graded and my next test is taken. So today I was kind of worried I would have nothing to write about. Then I decided to try some of Boice's suggestions about blocking. I just wrote down what I was noticing or thinking about at the time we were supposed to be planning. I wrote down things ranging from how mad I was my shoes weren't the same shade of blue as my shirt to how it'd be kind of funny if aliens actually were behind what we call global warming (I'm kind of odd and have a very random imagination).
After deciding on that awesome topic I wrote down some ideas about what I could write about under that umbrella, I planned a little bit, kind of. Then just went with the flow and started writing, about two pages later I thought I should stop just in case I feel like doing more with it, to keep the conversation open if you will, and take time to think about it and toss ideas around in my head.
I'm sort of pumped that I put into practice this many ideas and techniques we've read and talked about that I thought I would be more resistant to.
