Looking at the last date of an entry to The Echievements Writer&#8217;s Bin makes me wonder, &#8220;How come you&#8217;ve not been writing?&#8221; Part of me says, &#8220;I&#8217;m tired and have too much to do.&#8221; To that my schizoid mind replies, &#8220;Well, you could write instead of falling asleep on the couch.&#8221; There&#8217;s a better reason.

<p></p><p>Looking at the last date of an entry to <a href="http://www.echievements.com/blog" TARGET=_blank>The Echievements Writer&#8217;s Bin</a> makes me wonder, &#8220;How come you&#8217;ve not been writing?&#8221;</p>
<p>Part of me says, &#8220;I&#8217;m tired and have too much to do.&#8221; </p>
<p>To that my schizoid mind replies, &#8220;Well, you could write instead of falling asleep on the couch.&#8221; </p>
<p>There&#8217;s a better reason. Sometimes my imagination walks &#8220;over broken glass.&#8221; I feel formless and empty. (Read T.S. Eliot&#8217;s <a href="http://www.uweb.ucsb.edu/~marisol_hernandez/the%20hollow%20men.htm" TARGET=_blank>The Hollow Men</a>).</p>
<p>Sir Kenneth Robinson understands imagination, education, and the unique shapes, colors, forms, and gestures of our imagination.  </p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.echievements.com" TARGET=_blank>Echievements Writer&#8217;s Community </a>is an archive of online articles. Only a few, a very few, express imagination by format, content, or recommendation. Every author might benefit from Robinson&#8217;s thoughts, and some of us should stop writing and start dancing. </p>
