My mind loves to go off on a tangent, to stray off target. It tends to get seduced and captured by random thoughts. It yearns desperately to ditch the current idea and delve into something (anything) more fascinating than what I'm committed to writing. Index cards come in handy. I write a word, a question, a sentence, put it aside, and get back on track.
Life's like that, going off on tangents, being seduced by things that take you away from the task at hand. My task right now is Nanowrimo. No, it's not baby talk, it stands for National Novel Writing Month and I'm signed up to write a 50,000 word novel in November. I'm behind and I probably won't make the goal, but I'm committed to giving it my best shot.
So why am I here? Because this blog is my pack of index cards, a place where I can get the surplus thoughts out of my head so I can get back to whatever it is I should be working on. Done. I'm outta' here. It's nano time!
