Headlights On

2024.10.26

Good morning, that wonderful way.

Wild and free!

That's me!

More calm, cool, collected
No need to be elected.

King of my life
No need for strife.

How's it with you?

Life and where is the sky so blue?
Waiting for the clocks to roll back.

Shows you how fickle we are, how indebted to each other we are, that we can switch every clock back or forward an hour and change the shadows of every hour twice a year.

The calendar is a mathematical mess. Millenia of disagreeable mad Kings made it so.

Someday we'll be brave enough to streamline it.

Back to the keyboard for the morning entry.

Why?

Comfort. It's the only answer necessary.

Something about the rhythm of the day lends itself more to tip tapped keys. There are plenty of entries regarding writing and rhythm, though. Write <– here.

Did you take that chance? Learn to dance?
Something new in each shoe to run the course of your life?

Good day to begin that thing you've been putting off.

Take a breath and take a step.

One successful author said on writing something like:

"It's like driving at night. You can only see as far as the headlights allow, but keep going in faith knowing the road makes it there."
- Some successful author. (Maybe E.L. Doctorow)

If the road happens to fall off the edge of a cliff into a wonderland world of wonderful all the better.
- Wynn (<– Why it doesn't have quotation marks.)

The act of discovery on the writer's part puts discovery there for the reader.

Sure there are plots. They're exit ramps on the highway. Junctions to get you to the next road.

Plot point beats many call them.

Think of them as white letters on the green freeway signs.

Meeting with the Mentor
3 miles ahead.
Dark Night of the Soul
Merge left.

The story's scenery comes with the ride's weather.

Keep your headlights on. There are middle of the road moose around.

Great moment for your story, not so much for your car.

Look at the sky today, remember you're spinning over 660,000 miles an hour, enjoy the ride, take care, and have your better day.
