Five Minutes

Just thinking about creativity and time again.

Hi friends,

Hello from Florida, the surgery went well. Thank you for your thoughts.

Here’s a thing I’ve been telling myself lately, another little mantra in my head:

There’s always five minutes to write. There’s always a way to sneak it in. On the bus or the train, at the cafe when you’re standing in line for a coffee, at the grocery store when the person in front of you has an extra-full cart. At the end of your lunch break, at the beginning of your lunch break, all the way through your lunch break. In the movie theater before the previews start and you urgently need to capture a specific vision, or the doctor’s office when you feel like disassociating from the moment. While you’re waiting for the dry cycle to end, the hum of the machine your soundtrack. Right before you shut out your lights at the end of the night.
