I have been having a lot of fun writing creatively every day.

Most of it is done in a journal called the Writer’s Workbook which I’ve nearly completed. It encourages you to let the mind wander and write whatever comes to mind.

That comes easily for me especially if I have a pen in my hand.

I chuckled with today’s exercise to write a fairy tale and whipped out the above in five minutes. I like the flow of writing anything on paper to see where it takes me. The absurd appeals to me. I like the quirky nature of it and noticed that I prefer it more than writing anything serious.

Maybe this is my voice as the writing experts say?

I have this wonderful diary that I carry around with me. One day I’ll write about how I’m using this paper diary with all its weird and bizarre photos of families, to write snippets of what happens in my day as well as a creative story of the photos of each week like the one above.

I like looking at photos then making up stories about them again as a creative writing exercise.
