Where ever does the time go?

Time is NOT linear! Who would doubt that fact?

How many times have you noticed that deja vu creates a hairpin turn in your life? How often have moments become hours while waiting with a sick child in the doctor's office? How often has the day disappeared without your second cup of coffee?

Seems that way for most of us at least some of the time. I suspect the real reason we don't write as often as we promise ourselves that we will ties into the unexpected, real life, moments that curve time into a tight ball and toss it into left field amongst the cat tails. By the time we manage to dig it out of the muck, there is precious little of it left to even find the pen and paper or turn on the computer.

I know that my best writing time is early in the morning while I sip my first cup of coffee. Quiet time works best. I also know that during harvest, farm women do NOT have that luxury. Neither do their men.

I know that women with children also have no time at that hour of the day.

So, what to do? Find fifteen minutes somewhere, maybe just while waiting for the kiddies (that sometimes includes the blokes) to arrive home to jot a few notes to yourself about the most intriguing, confusing, delicious thoughts or experiences the day has allowed.

Later, you can expand. But, if you are like me, if you don't make the notes, you'll forget the salient details when you sit to write later.

Try it. And jot me a note here to let us know if this tip worked for you.
