Inspiration comes when you least expect it. The only trick is to be sure your’re busy when it does. Otherwise, thoughts appear and disappear never to be seen again. Thinking is easy. Thinking and doing is so much harder. So, get in to good habits, and get used to doing things without the worry of messing up. Each time, you have chance to improve. Maybe by blog 100 I might be getting good. Perhaps, I’ll finally ask for some feedback. But only on my good early ones, not this. This one is just a place holder to look busy to the lady in the red dress! This one is more of a notch on my blog post. Not her, just the blog. But she is very nice, and I’m not an arse. Maybe I am sometimes, but not that kind. She definitely does Pilates or Yoga. I can tell by the posture.
Anyway, where was I?
The heat! Unlike me, my deodorant is working overtime today. My socks may need trowing out after today too.
The lady in the red dress left with her boyfriend. No surprise really. And I’m still happy. The cafe is playing Led Zepplin in the background. The sound of a lorry of bus passing, drowns out the music, but it comes back better and better.
Think I’d better move cafes now.
As if by magic, I have a pint of orange and lemonade!
Worry about doing things doesn’t get them done any quick. Doing things, gets things done quicker. It’s just that sometimes it’s do something, wait, do something, wait, wait, wait, hope that the things you did before all the waiting are valid (and still are), wait, and complete the job.
I’m struggling with an arbitrary target. My aim was to write 500 words per blog, but now I have another arbitrary target of 100 blogs. Admittedly, I would have cruised passed that number sometime around 2015 if I’d stuck to the daily routine. But now, I have a target and I want it as soon as possible. Now I have a conflict. Do I shorten my output, or stick to the plan? Perhaps,So the quality will improve along the way, but on the other hand, it’s only after half way, that I get going or get to my point – a little like I’m doing now. So push on, I must. That’s the reason I’m doing this.
The man behind the bar reminds me a little of the landlord in the Men Behaving Badly comedy. Better at his job, but the same character. I digress. Or did?
I suppose good enough is good enough. But I really want my good enough to improve, and then to be quite good. Sometimes, you just have to raise your game, or get out of the game. And I like this game.
So here’s my target – see some of these words in print.
What? How? When? Why? What?!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Inspiration has arrived, and I’ve made myself busy. But just for the moment, I’ll sit wait and have a think.
