Random Thoughts August 2014
Random Thoughts:
* When it comes to what we call domestic violence, we refuse to acknowledge society’s interest in not having someone beat someone else up—if she forgives him, well, we should too
* If your brand of religion doesn’t make you joyous to be alive, you might want to rethink that
* If anything really bad ever happened to me, I’d get so sick of people telling me to see the bright side—”the blessings”—I’d want to punch them
* Think before you name your child
* If your parents didn’t think before they named you, change your name
* If you do the job I really hate and I do the job you really hate, none of us will have to do the job we really hate
* When I finish swimming, I think, your hips are fine, and I hop on the train of hope, convinced if I swim every day, I won’t need surgery.
* If the dog wants to check out something on the sidewalk, she probably shouldn’t
* If you don’t write down random thoughts, you will forget them
here’s to creative synthesis . . .

Yep. Always carry a notebook.

I try to follow this maxim, even squirreling a pen into my evening bags, but then I forget the next step: write it down!

I carry pen and paper with me except all the times I really need to jot it down. Sigh.

I used to have a notebook with 3-hole-punched napkins, store receipts, deposit slips—all with jotted notes. Doing so much revision, I’ve gotten out of the habit of writing down ideas for new work. Maybe it shall return.
