Sooo… by making my Tuesday blog post on time, I broke my streak, because I did not post anything yesterday, Wednesday. I can’t get too exercised over it, though, because by my rules for me, this will count as my Wuss-out Wednesday post, and my streak will only be broken if I fail to post anything for Thursday, whether I post it today or early Friday morning (ooh, yes, tomorrow is Friday) (with apologies to all those who work Saturday).
What could this be?
This may look like a random photo for Waste Not Want Not Wednesday, but it is much more than that, at least in my twisted mind. It is a well outside the Herkimer County Historical Society. They dug in this well for artifacts some years ago and found some interesting things. Now, as you see it is overgrown. But could it have future relevance and interest? At least fictionally, it could!
I took this picture after walking to the Society to purchase some post cards (regular readers know I like to send post cards to people). I thought it would inspire me. You see, I began writing a murder mystery for the Historical Society centering around this very hole in the ground (ooh, I just thought of a good title for this post!). Full disclosure: I began to write it last year for our fall show but felt it was too complicated a plot for my brain at the time. I wrote Lights, Camera, Murder! instead, which I think worked out pretty well. More recently I came across the notes for the other and was surprised by how much I had written on it. I said, “Heeyyyy!” or some such expression.
Many accept the rule that writing about not writing is still writing. I will add that writing about what one is going to write is also still writing. Now I just have to write it.
(That last sentence would have made a good title too.)
