I'm talking about time not my luggage this time but then where has my luggage gone? Still no sight of it so looks like I'll have to put in a claim and try to reclaim all that is lost.
But time has just flow over this past week. The weekend was busy to a certain extent with visitors and philosophy and getting ready for the week. And then the days working just fly by. I think it is the visiting different locations each day. They are all so different and the demands of the work is so different each time that by focusing on that one day the entire time you are there means that other time just slips away.
Each night has been filled with some event. Our first New York Scribblers
meeting was last night.
We ask kids to write for a long period of time and we as adults who had lots to say really struggled with maintaining our writing and were easily distracted. We seemed to seek recognition from each other for either our work or ideas or just checking that no one was doing any better than the other.
We started by having tea together and then settled to writing for half an hour. It took all of us a while to settle in to it. Eventually the chatting stopped as we began our selected piece of writing. It depended on the expanse of the event or idea how long we wrote. We maintained a certain rhythm for a while but by twenty minutes it seemed to peter out and we needed to talk about what we had been doing. We compared writing topics and what we had written so far. Then wrote a little longer, another twenty minutes but in my case really pushing it.
We finished up with a cuppa and a debrief but perhaps next time we need to state what our goals for writing will be in between times.
For the sake of having a lovely picture on each entry I've included the picture taken at dusk in Prague- I love the light and the colour of the building.
