Today I had a brief burst of creative energy. I had gotten some notes last night for a script I am working on, and this morning– it fueled inspiration. During my walk, new ideas for my story kept coming to mind. Whenever this happens during my walk, I have to stop and write myself an email with the all the thoughts that are coming to me. But just when I finish an email and start to walk some more, more ideas keep coming. So it’s like: walk, stop, write, walk, stop, write. Finally I got back to my apartment and was able to type it out. I only wrote two new scenes, but hey, after having writer’s block, I welcome it. I have no idea if what I am writing is crap, and I don’t care. It’s just a relief to be writing at all.
Later on, my sister came by to visit and drop off some things, and then we went for a walk around Lake Merritt. I normally don’t walk the entire lake, but we were making good time, so we went for it.
I clocked in over 22,000 steps today. I’m kinda beat, but very satisfied.
