Writing in the bike lane
It's very strange how little inspiration there is on some days when it comes to writing. A true writer knows to write anyway, or to take a few hours to file and do other tasks. Then there are those other days, when one idea seems to ignite off another. I've learned to have a notebook, stack of 3x5 papers or a note window open on the computer monitor at any given moment, because the best ideas often strike while doing something completely utilitarian or even dull. It's as though the mind clears a little bike lane right alongside the main road and sends a few ideas peddling beside the general flow of thoughts. Whatever causes this, I've learned to enjoy it and make use of it as a sort of journaling on the open road.
