Doodling fiction
We had an electrician do some work for us today and I found myself wondering what I would get done if we had to have the power off for more than a few minutes. This is usually only a factor if I'm at home. When I'm away from home I often take great delight in being able to write in longhand. I sometimes sit in the car in a parking lot and jot down notes on existing writing projects or ideas for new projects. It's almost meditative in the same way that doodling is meditative to someone who is sitting in a meeting or talking on a phone. Maybe it's a good idea to go without power on purpose now and then, just to use other parts of the brain in putting words together.
