Some time ago I blogged about writing – the post was called Completely. Fat. Free. Crafting, and provided a comparison between the craft (and expense) of scrapbooking as a hobby, and that of the completely inexpensive business of writing.
The post on a blog was picked up by a lovely woman who runs a writing group. She’d taken the final paragraph of my post and wanted to use it in her writing group. I said, “Of course” but was a little worried that it might be used as an example of how-not-to-write because I admit to myself that I am a long-winded blogger normally.
Well, perhaps my own writing hasn’t caught on, but the concept I played around with has. Fat Free Writing – there’s a Fort Smith course being put on called Fat Free Writing, led by Micki Voelkel.
This is all pure coincidence, unfortunately, and not linked in any way – it’s a noticable example of wordly coincidences, and similar thinking. Although the Fort Smith course deals with fat free meaning cut down writing for busy people, my own interpretation was more towards the lack of expense in simply writing. Both are extremely important in this era of commuter societies, longer working hour expectations, and the economic recession which is hitting us all.
