Talk, writing

I found in the past years that having a question was helped by a search.  Could be Google or Duckduckgo.  Most searches supply related topics and questions used by others.  It was those similar searches that opened my eyes to other possibilities.  It feels to me like sitting with a group and hearing gossip, ideas, fantasies, questions, confusions - valuable alternative takes and opinions.

My daughter gave me Storyworth services for a year.  Each week, they sent me a question, I write the answer and they collect my answers and publish a little hardback book of them.  They make a big deal over saying I can modify or substitute other ideas if I don't want to work on theirs, But I found that their questions, like the related searches, took me off into areas that my own thoughts didn't.
