                So I ask you again; did you catch it?  The squirrel was sent to put you on track and save your paper from mediocrity.  The hole in the wall became your pinpoint focus to winnow your thoughts through, and the uncomfortable chair was your comfort zone.  The Big Rule says write what you know.  I think that means: Know Your Limits.  I will never be conventional in my study habits, but in my profession I have to make decisions with a lot going on so that is what I know and that is how I do it.  Complacency breeds failure, and failure is not an option I will accept.  Writing is an art, and every art form requires some suffering, even if it’s just a bad chair.

                So maybe a thousand monkeys could do better, but they have the edge, being a thousand of them.  Writing is by nature the chronicling of life’s distractions hiding beneath the label of literature.  Do you believe in “the Buffalo Theory” where the herd drops its weakest and slowest by the wayside so the strong may become stronger can apply to writing as well?   The filtering methods I employ may not be for you if you tend to need order and reason to dictate your path, but for me the constant assault on my senses keeps the vibrant tapestry of thought roped in enough to tame.
