Stay Tuned, Y’all!

Howdy, y’all! Hey, I’m really back this time (and not just sleeping soundly – although that still sounds like a great idea).

Wow, what a trip; I don’t think I’ve worked that hard in all my born days! But it was definitely a rewarding and enjoyable experience, and I’ll be sharing some specific thoughts, musings, and photos with you in the weeks to come. First, of course, I have to transcribe and edit my journal notes from the trip (I took no computer with me on this trip). I’ll tell ya; this is probably the most I’ve hand-written anything since my college days!

One thing I noticed, though, about hand writing instead of using a keyboard: it’s far easier to use the “brain dump” method of writing. You know how it is, right? With a keyboard, the temptation to edit as you write can be overwhelming. Even if we know we’re supposed to “just write” first and edit later… it’s just so easy with a keyboard, y’know?

But I guess I’ve discovered (or re-discovered) that using pen and paper is a great way to get those first thoughts down without editing! I mean, who knew? I may actually try that method again for future posts. I think.

So bear with me folks; lots to come soon!

    Howdy Robert, can’t wait to read about your trip and see the pictures. Hope you got some time to relax and some good sleep. Now get your boots on, put the Stetson on your head and saddle up your desk chair and keep posting. ;)

    Of course, it’s better write with the pen than with the keyword because you feel than you can write with another writing style and if you make a mistake you can’t delete it with a button. I think we shouldn’t lost this way.

    @Sandra – I suppose you’re right; but it sure feels weird!
