Destiny's Bread Crumbs

In the beginning there were never notes or grand schemes. Somewhere in the way back, I improvised and posted within fifteen minutes.  People seemed to like it and came back every week for a peek.

Then I started thinking. I'm really not a thinker unless you count procrastinating, then I'm the Man on the Mount with all the answers and a tip jar. .But that doesn't get any work done and time passes, ideas dry rot, and I stare at a blank screen for two years.

Well, no more thinking for me.  Nope. Wearing a foil helmet and inserting "like you know" in every sentence.  It already feels like you know-natural.

I'm also going with what I really love doing instead of what I, like you know, love telling people I like doing.  I love writing short really bad poems just like Norma Timpkins and dialogue. As soon as I start writing dialogue my whole body relaxes and feels like home. Writing dialogue not my body which I have all sorts of issues with.


To summarize: stripping away thinking and going with makes me happy.
