FRIDAY STIR FRY - Fun?

                            I realized this week I haven't done anything fun in a long, long time.

A friend at work told me she was going to see Lynyrd Skynyrd this weekend with a bunch of girlfriends and stay at the casino. Sounds like fun to me. She told me I should come along. I proceeded to explain to her that since it was an outdoor venue, which would require walking a ways and carrying a lawn chair, my knees would not let me. Made me sad.

I decided to funnel that sadness into my writing this week and I wrote some pretty good stuff. (if I do say so myself). Writing about emotions is always easier when I'm feeling some. Whether it's happy or sad it doesn't matter. It also helps me feel better to get it out on paper. Yes, I'm limited in what I can do, but that doesn't mean I can't have fun with what I'm able to experience.

Do you write through your emotions whether it's stories or a journal and does it help?

    I've never been a fan of the live concert experience. Too many annoying people messing up my fun. Also, I'm practically a hermit, so crowds are a huge annoyance even when they're well-behaved.

    The older I get, the more I feel like you about crowds.

    But your launch party was fun. A lot of fun! I love concerts but haven't been to one in a couple of years.

    As to your writing improving when you're feeling emotional about something, I agree. Congrats on channeling that.

      Have to channel my discontent somewhere. Poor characters.

    That would have been a fun concert - but hot and sticky and hot. Did I mention it would have been really hot. UGH.

    Writing is always good therapy for those pesty emotions that get us down.

      I can remember when hot and sticky was fun. :0

    If it was the Rolling Stones I'd be THERE! Not much else. Although Carol and I did go see Mark Lindsay at the Ozark Empire Fair a few years ago. Ah, the good ole days.

      Never have been a Stones fan. I was too much into the Beatles.
