The Rhythm of Writing
Image via Wikipedia
Writing has a certain rhythm.
There is the act of typing, be it slow or rapid, and the sound and feel of each keystroke. On the other end of the spectrum is the rhythm of actual, long-hand writing. The size of the pen/pencil tip. The feel of the ink on the paper. The type of paper. The type of ink, even.
There is also the rhythm of our inspiration or muse, whether it cooperates or doesn’t, and how we communicate what our senses reveal to us (or don’t). When writing a scene, each one can vary in rhythm and flow depending on the content, the conflict, the resolve, and personalities of the characters.
I am a writer. I adore the spinning of the unwritten tale – that lesson waiting to be divulged to others. Each day a new story beckons. One last happy ending. My characters have a life outside of my own, and I always learn from their destiny.
