Hello there! Happy Writemas.
Have you ever written through vocal means?
Recently, I purchased a new phone; and typically, I don't follow technology. Yet, this purchase has already made my life easier. I found myself having the desire to write while I was sitting in my car 40 minutes away from home. I didn't have a journal. I didn't have a notebook. I didn't even have a pen. I know! What type of writer am I to not have any writing implements?
What I had was an app on my phone called Mi Moment. I figured I would try to type out what I wanted to write VERY slowly with the touch key board (which I HATE). Imagine my surprise when I realized it had a microphone.
So...imagine if you will...a woman sitting in her car and talking to herself. Crazy! I know. But what it did was allow me to record the beginning of two poems. Who cared what people thought! Do you know how many times I have been in my car and the words of a poem would come to me? I have contemplated pulling over the car on many occasions to record those words.
And that is how many of my words have disappeared into the Smoky Mountain air. The inability for me, as a lone woman, to stop on a mountain rode in the dark of night and record my thoughts and words.
An app that allows me to click a button and vocally record my words....Well that is something I can get behind. Maybe I will lose less words...and maybe gain a reputation for the crazy writer who talks to herself.
