Terry's 3M's
I did have some time off the other day. Faye and Delton took the kids to MGM theme park. I could have gone, but, I've just been too overwhelmed with kids almost 24/7 since July 4th. From the description of some of the rides that my son went on; maybe it's just as well. I think I might have had a heart attack or two if I'd gone. Instead, I stayed home and watched Good Will Hunting. Robin Williams did a fantastic job of acting. He deserved the little gold statue.
And then I rewatched Titanic. But, I think I wrote my observations about the movie in one of April's postings.
Some of the things that were lost when we lost MS Office were my writings. A few stories that I had started. I hadn't worked on them because they were on the computer that didn't work. But, today I got busy. I had had a story/novel idea percolating for a bit. Today I wrote out the character sketches and the outline. I think that this isn't going to be much of an entry because I'm so buzzed about the other work I started. And I'm afraid of losing momemtum.
I know that my attention span and getting this excited about something usually only lasts for about 3 days. But, that's a habit that I'm going to try diligently to break. And it's not 3 days and it's gone forever. It's 3 days...and then I go and get excited about something else and then come back to it.
Oh, the reason why I'm writing this not very inspiring entry today? I came across this. I wish I knew who to give credit for, but, it is quoted from a reader's poll from the e-newletter, Inklings. ""Don't let a single day go by without writing. Even if it's garbage, if garbage is all you can write, write it. Garbage eventually becomes compost with a little treatment...."
Maybe it'll help me have a little patience with myself.
