the thing about paper and pen
Carelessly pondering over my hesitation about beginning my travel journal, it struck me. Perhaps I am being cautious simply because this journal is a paper and pen adventure.
It's nothing like this blog. Here, like I have dozens of times, I can type and backspace, type and delete, and eventually delete an entire entry without leaving a trace of it ever existing. My writing in this space is transient; it lives as I fancy, and dies at my whim.
But paper and pen is a totally different story. After the tip touches the paper, a mark will forever be there - as a stain or a masterpiece. Sure I can cancel it out with a stroke, I can sweep over it with corrective liquid paper, but in a way, it will forever remain - as a mess or white-washed.
And I suppose that scares me. Partially because I crave perfection in my creations. To begin something this permanent - like getting a tattoo - I feel that I must think and rethink what I am about to put down on paper, before I am actually allowed to do so.
I once had a fleeting thought that I should type out my entries on my computer first. To have the time to mull over my draft; to change a noun here and there; to add an adjective or verb.
Yet, creativity in its purest form may not be semantically perfect, and it may not be poetry in motion. But in any case, the expression of creativity in itself is courage personified.
And I am still hiding in the safety net of the backspace button.

Went for a writing class over the weekend and was not used to the idea of writing using pen and paper. 10 or so writing exercises later, I can safely say that I am on my way to being a convert. - D W

According to my problem He decided to perform a spell service immediately and all other necessary things that has to be done an after the spell had been done He told me to wait for just 40 hours that the spell will start to take effect and so i believed and i waited for the time he had said.
To my greatest surprise , exactly the 40 hours that he had said i recieved a call and when i picked the call it was my wife pleading and also asking for forgiveness, at first i was amazed but later i came back to my mood and i decided to hang on the phone on her but when i terminated the call she keep on calling an i decided to switch off the phone.
To my greatest surprise around 6:30am in the morning i heard my door bell ringing and i decided to open the door , to my surprise i saw my wife kneeling and begging me to forgive so i decided to forgive her and i ordered her up an i embrace her. This was how i got my wife back with the help of the great Dr Alao.
