I thought of that title a few weeks ago and wrote it down. Then this morning (yes, I am making my Lame Post Friday post on Saturday morning, more about that later), I remembered that I had written it down and paged through my notebook (I need hardly say the paper, spiral-bound kind) (are there still computers called notebooks? I am so out of touch) looking for it. I am going to say it is appropriate, because I have become increasingly more comfortable with making a day’s post the following morning (although I will probably never feel really good about it). In any case, if I do not use it soon, it will moulder away in that notebook, unused and unremembered.
Wow, that was a long paragraph. I’d better follow it up with a short one.
Regarding the title on the notebook (ooh, how’s that for a title, “The Title in the Notebook”?), I know it is a time-honored practice of writers to always have a notebook where we can write down ideas and little snippets as they occur to us. For me, this tends to work out better than the notebook by the bed for those middle of the night inspirations. I personally have never dreamt a usable plot line. Additionally, rousing myself sufficiently to write something down has a detrimental effect on my always troublesome insomnia.
Oh dear, another long paragraph. Well, why not? It got me over 200 words. I will just add that something else I have become comfortable with is pecking in one letter at a time with the stylus on my Tablet. I look at past posts and see how I have lamented doing so. Now it is my usual method, and ten-finger typing is a rare treat.
