I enjoy crossing things out, making arrows to paragraphs that need to be moved, numbering, the journey and puzzle of figuring out the finished product! Of course the end is great, the feeling of accomplishment and seeing the final work, but yeah, I must say, the most fun is in the journey! Kind of like yoga, which,if we are lucky, will always be a process, and journey to go along on. :-)Writer Yogihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17139040682391594581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4399027951667334371.post-73427897719233966692012-05-12T21:00:46.340-07:002012-05-12T21:00:46.340-07:00Thank you so much Gretel!

You always give me something meaty to think about. Do you know Margaret Drabble's sort-of memoir, The Pattern in the Carpet? Puzzles are its center. I also wanted to say how lovely your's and Holly's interview is on Writing Our Way Home, a site where I am an active and happy participant. Thank you again for your ongoing posts.<br /><br />Gretel W-SAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4399027951667334371.post-86367550182247946322012-05-12T06:15:16.770-07:002012-05-12T06:15:16.770-07:00I love this metaphor, even if you did wonder if yo...I love this metaphor, even if you did wonder if you took it too far.

Instead it was an attempt to grasp after some undefined essence or meaning, the catching of which was well nigh near impossible, until suddenly the parts of the picture, which I knew was out there, began to come together, albeit slowly. The piece needs a whole lot more work, but its feeling its way home! And the adrenaline gives a mighty push!Edithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02720104214537603483noreply@blogger.com
