\"EditLet\u2019s welcome back monthly columnist\u00a0Catharine Bramkamp<\/a> as she shares with us \u201cEdit in Color! \u201d Enjoy!<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

You are probably familiar with the coloring book craze,<\/strong> which as writers we are allowed to view with irony and in some cases, despair. I have avoided even leafing through the coloring books for sale next to the real books filled with words partially because of that irony thing, mostly because I don\u2019t have time to color. I also don\u2019t have the time to meditate, take a yoga class, shop for healthy food or call mom.<\/p>\n

But a ubiquitous trend will get you one way or another. I was ambushed by a black and white Mandala offered up by O Magazine. On a whim, I pulled out the illustration and brought it with me to a mountain retreat where I planned to spend hour after productive, focused hour editing my novel. These were the most difficult edits because I was incorporating my Beta Reader feedback. (What do you mean, You. Don\u2019t. Get. It?).<\/p>\n

I had heard (and O magazine endorsed) that coloring is\u00a0meditative.\u00a0<\/strong>I have also heard that regular meditation will cure all a person\u2019s ills. Since sitting still is not part of my DNA, I thought I\u2019d give this torn out black and white circle a coloring try.\u00a0I made three copies of the black and white outline, grabbed the crayons I keep in the house for my granddaughter and set the coloring magic up next to the computer.<\/p>\n

It worked.<\/p>\n

I was surprised.<\/p>\n

During the laborious editing process, each time I was stuck, each time I needed a better word,\u00a0each time I was frustrated because the ideas and suggestions wouldn\u2019t materialize, each time the internet connection hung up.\u00a0I colored.<\/p>\n

According to Art Therapy,<\/strong> \u201cthe subjects who colored mandalas or paid patterns experienced greater anxiety reduction than those who did free-form coloring.\u201d Coloring a mandala was a revelation. I used this yellow crayon, then that purple crayon, then yellow again to fill out the pattern. After about a minute, I was ready to\u00a0 return to editing with a fresh eye. I wasn\u2019t distancing myself mentally or physically from the editing work, but I did create space enough for a brief reprieve. The coloring project was at hand, so I had an alternative exercise that was completely different from the computer work. I moved my hands in a different way. I supposed my brain calmed. The colors were attractive enough to distract, and so easy it prevented me from rushing to the kitchen for another cookie (you know who you are).<\/p>\n

How to start? Buy a mandala coloring book.\u00a0Or\u00a0visit\u00a0Printmandala.com<\/a>\u00a0for free patterns to download. Use crayons or colored pencils because once you color even a few sections you may be ready to leap back to your writing. This way you don\u2019t need to worry about replacing the cap on a pen or knocking over the water for your paints. In other words, don\u2019t get caught up in the equipment or process, this is an alternative, not the main attraction.<\/p>\n

When you are stuck, color.\u00a0<\/strong>You can also march around, insult the gods, and rummage for the cookies you hid in the freezer. But the coloring may be a quicker way back to the editing.<\/p>\n

Coloring is not the ultimate answer. Coloring didn\u2019t necessarily improve\u00a0 my editing but it did help me get back to it faster, find the words faster. I am a fan of any activity that helps mitigate the gruesome, tedious, soul-sucking process we call book editing. And as I move relentlessly towards the future, I find that I do exercise more, I ate a healthy dinner last week and last Saturday I called mom.<\/p>\n

Who knew that coloring could engender so many words?<\/strong><\/p>\n
