What do you Wear When You Write?

That is a lot of articles. Where do you publish them or do you mean 1000 plus on myLot? I have 650 but I deleted some because they did not get answers.

@LindaOHio Oh yes, Bubblews. I missed Epinions somehow. I wrote for Helium and Yahoo Voices among other places. I think there was Story Lane or something similar.

@akalinus I wrote a lot of reviews on Epinions and one other site that I can't remember, Bubblews, I had my own movie review blog, and several other sites that have tanked.

It sounds good to me. Clothes should be comfortable unless you are in public or with an editor or other important person.

That sounds great to me. I am wearing shorts and a blouse of many colors right now.

@akalinus I try to work comfortable.

I am not a poet but I have advice for poetry writers because a published and paid for poet gave a lot of great advice at writer's meetings. The most important thing she said is to keep a poetry journal. In it, write about anything that moves you, the colors of a sunset, impressions of people, and emotions at different times. She said do what interests you and helps with the poetry you want to write. You pick what is important. You think you will remember these things later but you won't. What kind of poetry do you write and where is it published?

@akalinus I write in long hand first--sometimes those become poems--often not--but the act of writing in a notebook keeps the metaphor juices going--so it is sort of like what your friend does--I write in free verse--often short or shorter pieces--published in some journals, blog, medium and a couple of anthologies--my name is Audrey Howitt--

@divalounger I will find you online or look for you, at least. Maybe tomorrow, today has gone to rot with glitches and nonsense.

Grammar and writing rules are meant to be broken. You have to know the rules first and then have a good reason to break them. Carry on.

I remember my mom reading Tom Sawyer to us way back in the mists of time. It was an education with all the superstitions and Tom in love with Becky Thatcher and taking the blame for something she did. I can't talk about the other interesting character because of offended people.

@akalinus That sounds hilarious my friend!

@akalinus - When I worked with my husband I dressed up, but now that I am at home I like comfortable clothes.

@LadyDuck I did not know you worked together. I think you should wear whatever makes you feel good and comfortable.

That is the sensible thing to do. These meetings were just listening to people read their stories and tell what we think of them. No biggies.

I thought the rule was silly. I write better whén wearing what I want at the moment.

@akalinus that's what I say.

@2ndchances24 I could write in my underwear but we have neighbors who freak out at everything.

That sounds good. I do that too. I wear whatever is comfortable at the time and try to look proper if I need to go somewhere.

I know the feeling. I wore heels and ruined my feet. I went to some poetry readings. The last one got wild and wooly. People were reading lines and playing drums. I think they got carried away with it but that's just me. They forgot we were there and no one cared what anyone else was wearing.

@sallypup That sounds like fun.

@akalinus That sounds like fun if it was done well. I used to read my poetry in groups quite often.

Maybe that is a wee bit too much information. Now, I have to imagine a visual, so wear shorts at least. The things I hear on myLot!!

@TheHorse You are forgiven.

@akalinus I am wearing my Disney Winnie the Pooh outfit right now. Except the shirt is white, not red.

That sounds like a great writing outfit.

Everyone needs a break from writing sometimes. We just run out of ideas or can't figure out how to write something. Do something fun for a while and the urge to write will return.

@nela13 I am happy for you. I'm glad you thought of an idea and ran with it.

@akalinus I wrote a new text for Hubpages after talking with you.

Do you wear pajamas when you are in your store? They are great for writing though.

@Shivram59 It is a good place to write and study. Pajamas are a perfect writing outfit. I know you are very busy with your shop all day and are a successful businessman.

@akalinus No;I wear pajamas in my bedroom.It is there where I write.I don't have time to write when I'm in my shop.

Me, too. That is one of the good things about writing. Unless you go to an office, no one outside sees you. You can wear whatever you want.

The group did not last long. There were a lot of bizarre rules and the people in the group wanted to see and hear fellow writers, not concentrate on rules. The meetings were at night when everyone was already tired from the day's activities.

You are a writer after my own heart.

The best writing outfit is something that you love to wear and looks good.

Oh yes, I agree. I would try to be presentable for something like that.

My friends say they wear pajamas around the house. I don't know why I don't. If they feel good when you are writing, I say go for it.

I was always decently covered at writer's group meetings but often wore jeans with a blouse or sweatshirt. Nothing fancy. I miss the groups.
