A few rocks in my way
Yesterday I came to a stop; I did not know how to continue, what to address next. Even though I had the outline to guide me, it did not make sense. I went back to the library and started searching in a specific journal/magazine title. I was trying to find a needle in a haze, a clue that could help me continue writing! At that time, I needed to do something and this kept me busy. In the back of my mind, I did not know what I was going to do, but I kept thinking of different possibilities.
When I wake up in the mornings, I always tell myself "Today is going to be a good day, a good day!" I convince myself that something good will happen, and try to work toward it. The strange thing was that last night, I had a dream of danger because of a missing ladder. It did not had to do with writing at all, but with families trying to find a place to play with their kids. And then I realized I had to think about the funnel Dr. Ferdig always talks about, and it hit me.
OK, now I know what topic I will cover next. What I need to do is figure out how I will connect it to what I had written already. That will be my next step!
