Welcome to Day 187...
So we had some snow here in the Hudson Valley this morning...
Not much, just enough to cause a school delay and a round of shoveling for the driveway.
Usually my hubby takes care of the driveway, but he had an early meeting, so out I went - shovel in hand.
And then crazy set in.
I don't know if it's my adult A.D.D. or some other mind meld, but as I moved the shovel through the light powder, there was no rhyme or reason to my method.
I mean none what so ever.
I started in one spot and then without finishing, I would move to another section. There was no formula to my moves - straight line, curves, 2 up, 6 back. I'm sure the neighbors thought I was crazy. What wasn't crazy was that the driveway turned out just fine. Great in fact.
Anyway there was more erratic behavior earlier this morning. Just around 4 am. That's when I was up writing. Erratic writing if you will. I was working on some connecting scenes and as the ideas were moving through my brain at warp speed.
And in the midst of it all I was jumping from one scene to another with no rhyme or reason.
But it all turned out okay, better than okay. I got drafts and outlines for three scenes I needed...along with some great dialogue.
Sometimes erratic just works.
Here's Today's Takeaway Lesson...
"Do Not Follow Where The Path May Lead, Go Instead Where There Is No Path And Leave A Trail"
