I guess that we all do this to a degree and in essence both you and John are saying the same thing - it just comes your way. <BR/><BR/>I guess I do agree with you on the whole as I dont force scenarios to write but...I just love change, experience and learning and I guess that moving around is what brings me these things.

For every writer who feels the need to move around searching for new experiences (to then write about them), you can find a Faulkner, who wrote just about everything staying put. <BR/><BR/>Personally, I've enjoyed taking a break from writing now and again, because, in my experience, the journey through time can be as perspective altering and influential to one's writing as moving to a new place would be. The fact that I really can't afford to travel around, is of course, another story altogether :)melon colliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16118519345448759156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993333259367904565.post-58022088407231628372008-03-02T20:30:00.000-08:002008-03-02T20:30:00.000-08:00For me, writing is more about understanding, I thi...For me, writing is more about understanding, I think, than about experience. Change is usually a factor, because, by nature, the universe and we are always changing. It's why it's so important to read books over and over. As you change, you read with different perspective. As I write, I write with different perspective as well. <BR/><BR/>But back to your question. Certainly I can't write without the experiences, but I think I just take it for granted that experiences will come and I can write about them. I really don't seek out new experiences for the sake of writing. In fact, I rarely find myself writing about experiences I've sought out. I generally write about the absurdity of life, the experiences I've had that I could never have imagined or planned. <BR/><BR/>I think this question is probably answered differently by just about everyone, and I'm interested to see how others answer it.<BR/><BR/>Thanks.<BR/><BR/>JohnJohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13638731564972310676noreply@blogger.com
