(When asked where I got it by one snooty lady, I relied "Mongolia", to which came the rejoinder - "Is that in Bond Street?")Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04631254646368974136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-66506764273469435632010-12-13T14:27:56.932+00:002010-12-13T14:27:56.932+00:00I've felt exactly the same over the years abou...I've felt exactly the same over the years about anyone seeing my writing before it's what I consider 'finished'. <br /><br />Occasionally I leave something on screen and my husband reads it but however full of praise he is I can't bear that he's seen it, and want to collapse with embarrassment!<br /><br />Maybe I'll grow out of it one day.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05986874444030474719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-50671349115738030712010-12-13T13:25:46.446+00:002010-12-13T13:25:46.446+00:00I struggle to write longhand anymore.

I tried longhand recently and I think it worked - because the process is slower so I was thinking more about the words I was putting on the page.Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14467655046379247950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-78715499286172662862010-12-13T12:56:19.102+00:002010-12-13T12:56:19.102+00:00As someone whose teenage boyfriend once picked up ...As someone whose teenage boyfriend once picked up her diary and read about her getting off with someone else [ouch] I sympathise entirely about the privacy thing. I need to write by hand when I'm really brainstorming ideas..it's an almost physical pull towards a pen. But for 'proper' writing, has to be a computer for me..<br />[PS I'm not like that anymore, um, honest]Caroline Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04708248040141519582noreply@blogger.com
