I can easily get lost in worlds. Some writers have their rooms and their desks cleared for this reason. I took this photograph late at night and before I knew it, I was lost. Here where two spies, reunited after the war, coming home, to a flag illuminated from a burning house. Or…and before you know it, you have a story, or a moment away from time that never gets written yet was fully lived. Such is the life of a writer.
Is there a way to control this and get back to writing, or should you just relax, enjoy the moment? It might turn into something wonderful even if it’s never written down on the page, it becomes a part of you. Such is the magic of being a writer.

“It might turn into something wonderful even if it’s never written down on the page, it becomes a part of you.”—Absolutely. I believe much of our ‘writing’ is accomplished when we’re lost in our thoughts, nowhere near a keyboard. 🙂
I know…isnt it fantastic! I wonder if someone could record what goes on in the mind of a writer.. Could be fascinating or scary…or both!
Haha, probably definitely both!
I liked your snippet of writing here – and it paired so week with the lighting on the image – and a while ago I watched a spy movie and so that was in my mind as I read your “in the flow” flowing story.. 🙂
also, I like the point that not all has to be written down – but sadly, thing can easily become forgotten and sometimes the writing it down preserves it more – but then there is such freedom in experiencing (the lostness of it all) without writing it down – which I think is one of your points here – hmmmm –
