The notes may be for future reference if it looks like it might fit into an ongoing project, or else a note on the writing itself if instructive.
I’m sorry to read of your fall and shoulder injury, Ann. And that was 6 months ago, and no blog since? so I do hope your accident hasn’t still plagued you. My own writing is heavily dependent on my reading, I think, because I make notes on anything I read – – if not noteworthy, I stop reading the book. The notes may be for future reference if it looks like it might fit into an ongoing project, or else a note on the writing itself if instructive. Y’know, just brief handwritten page-referenced notes I then tuck into the book before shelving and which I may also type onto an ongoing project at the same time. Always looking to learn. And as promised in my earlier Comment to the first blog of yours that I just read so belatedly, on your shoeshine, I ask, Are you still getting your boots shined at airports? I’m guessing the Ecuadorian has retired, though, possibly with a shoulder strain of his own if you kept going back to have him shine your boots since 2008!
