I think I’ll revive an old idea of mine… write beginnings to stories, just beginnings. I read once about how children tell stories, that they jump from one beginning to the next until someone shows interest or they themselves find a particular start interesting. Once that happens they keep going. Jump, jump, jump, and then they jump into it.

In general, I should seek to write as a child would write, as I wrote in childhood. Without reservation. In play. A single day’s distraction. Some way of stringing together that day’s vocabulary words. Remember vocabulary words?

I’ll begin, and when I lose interest or the time has passed, I’ll begin again.
