My Crawl Would Look Something Like This

Always a coffee roaster (for the aroma); sometimes a library but only if I'm traveling and it's unique (like the one I visited in Camden, Maine, with the comfy yellow chairs; an independent bookstore for sure, but that could be dangerous; I love the idea of adding a distillery to the mix but I'd have to time that right.

P.S. I can't believe I missed poetry writing month. See? I'm distracted. ;-)

I don't have anything meaningful to contribute from a writerly standpoint today. I just wanted to say your backpack looks fun, and I'd like to try "Espresso, blackberry, brown sugar and vanilla." Do you see what I'm talking about? "Fun." That's the vocabulary I'm working with today-- ever have one of those days where your entire vocabularly is shot?

The fact you commented made my day! Sometimes just one word sums up what we want to say! It's not a bad word so that makes it all right.

Thanks for reading.

Smiling and having good memories surfacing of my writing marathon days ( hadn’t heard of the term “crawl”) as I named the multiple location writing days. I have done “lift the line” type of exercise but never taking more than one line. Today I’ll experiment with multiple books (without leaving home).

Yes, I often pull books and lines from my own library too. Even changing rooms and locations in the house can be a writing crawl. I often write in the morning on the couch and the afternoons back in my office. I need to write more outside. Though, not today…it is raining here!
