I’m participating in Nanowrimo
(National Novel Writing month)
which challenges writers
to write 50,000 words in 30 days.
Yesterday, I wrote zero words.
Why?
Because yesterday
I was in a blue sky mood.
My mood was over-the-top positive.
Creativity was off the charts.
Solid story ideas were flowing.
I spent the day
brainstorming plot lines
and recording them.
The day was wonderfully productive
and very inspiring.
Blue sky days are rare.
I don’t waste them
by doing grunt work
(and writing is often grunt work).
If you have a blue sky day,
you also may not wish to waste it
by going to meetings
or filling out expense reports.
Push the daily stuff off if you can until tomorrow
and spend as much as possible
of that blue sky day
in creative pursuits.
