My mind loves going in different directions.

I had several ideas on what to write today.

• How to show up
• Dealing with NYC racism
• Surprises
• Dealing with urges
• Running away
• The feeling after resting
• Mentally being scrambled
• Making your bed
• The joy of oversleep
• Idea #10

But nothing is sticking enough to put down. It isn’t that I have writers block, it’s that the ideas aren’t formulated enough to get put down. If I sat here any longer, I am sure I could come up with another 15 or 20 ideas to put down that interest me in the moment.

I want to try an experiment. I can’t run away from these ideas. I want to force myself to write to these ten ideas over the next ten days. I don’t want my mind to change in midstream.

How do I react when there are expectations, and I can’t maneuver as a writer to write what I want? The experiment begins now.
