We Can Always Write About the Sky

Thursday, May 15, 2025

Good morning, the Wonderfell Way.

O/ Hello.

Another installment of what's worth wondering about by your friendly favorite very real companion who put the super in supernatural, +he Ghos+.

Hope all's well today.

Here we go.

On with our show...

Writers! Eyes forward.
Listen up. Look up!
We can always write about the sky.

If a prompt like I use doesn't quite get you going, look up or out a window and be as exact as you can, use your words for eyes and set down the sky in letters and similes like song verses that set the mood for the weather forecast in the chorus.

The repeat lyrical thwomp-tap-thwomp of every pop song chorus sounds raindrops or rays of sunlight to set the climate for the day.

A soft sun turned up bright behind one firmament full grey cloud like you as a kid under a bleached white bedsheet with a flashlight, or phone screen, turned up bright as it could get to get some peace, some quiet, from the dark.

Late night went to late morning. Not hurrying at times is tough. So much of the world is touch and go.

In this plug and play society we set up, sitting down to write is a brave business.

The old advice on how to best spend a day: "Don't rush; don't rest," is always helpful.

And so pertinent.

Bumper sticker, T-shirt screen-print worthy, for sure.

Pace your work. Fill it with your best attention. See it through.

If it's important enough to do, it's important enough to do well.

And finish.

Finish it.

It means, at times, tuning out everyone else's ideas of what's important and focusing on what you know is.

Set up shop. Build a fortress to build your dreams.

A room with a closed door works.

A car.

If those aren't available, a pair of headphones work.

I hope your day has you, for at least sometime, in a place to best suit your work.

Take care, don't rush or rest, and make wonderful your wonderful day.
