This is music writing. It's like a timed writing, but you pick a few songs that play for the amount of time you're going for. I've always found it interesting how music influences the words. Music can create a mood that your words follow. I've often found it helpful when I'm blocked, particularly on poetry.
Today was not a busy day. I had such great plans and did some housework and a few chores, but all those writing plans got swallowed up by inertia. Well, there's always tomorrow. Tomorrow I will do better.
Do you ever tell yourself that? Aren't we all like Scarlett O'Hara who used to say after every setback, "Tomorrow is another day"? Or words to that effect. Amoral and ambitious as she was written, you still have to admire her spirit and stubbornness.
Spirit and stubbornness. That's often what we rely on keep going. Some people lean on God or alcohol or sex or who knows, but we lurch from valley to peak to plains to rivers and all the other points of our journeys. Listen, I don't know, but I think the next valley leads to Shangri-La. Let's go and find out. Come on. There's a whole world out there just waiting for us.
Talk to you tomorrow.
