I re-read the original, and enjoyed watching, too.
My beeswax: Quiet meditation (can be done while weeding or wiping or carpet sweeping) throwing in whatever sentences pop into my talking to self, and suddenly a voice emerges with one of the sentences, and it wants to tell a story.
Then, I have to sit down and write their story. But only after I heard them loud and clear. ;P
Love your video blog and your pre-write ideas. I like to run for exercise. It also seems to be a time when I can think over an idea and get “unstuck.” Hope you are having a great summer, Laura!
This is a neat way to blog. I’d heard of sewing with beeswax before, but it never “stuck”. This video has cemented it for me. Journaling is a great way to “beeswax” your writing. Walking alone without headphones is another. Thanks for sharing!
Laura, I had NO idea about beeswax with the sewing and my grandmother was a professional seamstress! lol And I LOVE that they offer a Home Economics course for your 6th grader. WONderful! All I keep hearing is how they’re weeding these things out in high school. SO foolish *sigh*
Anyway, I don’t have a specific “beeswax” because I find that ideas flow organically anytime of day, never knowing what is going to trigger creativity and ideas 🙂

LOVELY! Yes, that too! That’s often when the heart of a story speaks to me – when I’m weeding or washing dishes.

Running is great beeswax! I’m more the brisk walk type, but same idea. Lots of good thinking happens on a run/walk.

Our high school still has a thriving home econ program!
