Notice in Writing

Why NOTICE IN WRITING? Because it works on more than one level. I like that. I love words and being able to play with words just like a kid plays with lego. You can build things with words! Funny things and useful things and painful things and joyful things. I thought something legalish would be funny because I used to be a lawyer and I still think like a lawyer and argue like a lawyer! All legal documents always say that parties have to provide “notice in writing” of various things such as intention to cancel. On another level entirely, I notice in writing what I am thinking. When I think I tend to go around in circles like a lame duck. When I write I am forced to examine my own thinking because I can SEE it and so it helps my process of destuckification. That’s a new word I learned today. I‘ll talk about that in a separate post. Today I’m just going to notice in writing that it’s pretty cool that stringing words together can be so satisfying.
