Musings and meanderings on my writing process, progress and procrastination.
1. The No-Work Walk

Usually I talk about the productivity of my walks and blah, blah, blah. Today? Not so much. The productive part came as a sort of confirmation. I’d always suspected that walking the same route every day acted like a visual white noise, allowing me to think about the story issues du jour.

Today, I took a different path and, well ...
 Despite the fact I lay in bed for more than an hour getting the plot arc together in my mind ... up to a point ... and despite the fact I’d hoped my walk would push me further like it almost always does, it failed me.

Maybe, it was the palm trees in the foreground, the snow-covered mountains in the background and the golf course to my side. Way too much to look at. (Will download photo when I get home.)

The good thing about leaving the (mostly) wonderful weather and beautiful sights of Palm Springs is that my white noise walk is waiting for me. And I’ve had enough sleep and relaxation the past few days that I’m itching for a marathon writing period.
