How does writing go for you?

An insight flows through. An ah-ha. And I’m moved to write about it. The process of writing it out always seems to deepen the insight, making it richer, deeper and more delicious.

The words flow through and express themselves on the digital page. I am writing this? Not really, I seem to be reading this.

When the writing seems to be done and no further tweaks are needed and reread, it feels too good not to share. So I post it.

People respond. They resonate with the words or they don’t.

When they respond positively here’s where the confusion comes in.

In truth, “I” didn’t write this. I, too, am the receiver, the resonator, if that’s a word.

Yet… the “I” that I think I am is pleased, takes pleasure in these positive responses. A mini or not so mini reward is seen and felt. And I somehow feel “I shouldn’t be feeling this. I didn’t write it. And, I admit, I feel like “After all the classes, all the seeing, this mini reward shouldn’t be felt.”

So I wonder, what does Clare feel when she writes or puts stuff out there?
