This morning’s brain fart of a thought, as illustrated above, is the result of a 3-month long fallow period due to a number of work-related and life-adjacent situations.
I have been thinking through story ideas and novel concepts during this fallow period, sowing seeds and turning compost, yet the headspace has not been present to commit fully to parsing these ideas and concepts into treatments, synposes, characters and plot.
In this fledgling beginning of what I want to be a career of writing, I can look at the broader scope of what I want to write about, yet now is the time to make that focus work for me.
Dreaming about it won’t make it happen. The only thing left is to DO THE WORK.
