The Stories

I was absolutely determined to produce some new material today, so I set aside the morning to be completely offline. Printed out my prompt sheet, which I had generated specifically for this purpose. Packed a notebook and a bottle of cold water. Slathered myself in sunscreen, just in case. Picked up a latte at my favorite bakery and took it to the little playground park nearby.

Of course I forgot to take the printed sheet with me, because I'm me, and I wouldn't be me if I didn't forget something. But I spent a little time recreating it, or trying to. And that gave me the mental process to decide what I should start writing. As par for the course, once the words are flowing then Newton's laws of thermodynamics are in effect, as in, "a wordcount in motion tends to remain in motion". Now my hand hurts!

It was a good morning.

I'll write about my birthday, too, but not until after my thing on Thursday. right now I have a book review to get to.
