Thursday Thoughts: Universal Worlds

The various processes involved in writing probably don’t matter as much to readers as it does to writers. And it might not be interesting but from time to time, the Universe drops in with an idewa that is also something of a reminder about the whole writing thing. It is also a bit of a guide to the difference between the “breeds.” There are pantsers and plotters and plantsers. And then there are puzzlers like me. Pantsers write “by the seat of their pants.” They get an idea, put words on paper (figuratively speaking because most of us work on computers these days) and tell the story as it occurs to them, ie. they make it up as they go. Plotters get an idea, outline, plan, and plot everything, writing from start to finish in an orderly fashion because they already know what is going to happen. Plantsers are hybrids. They plot but aren’t afraid to detour if a new idea pops up. And then there’s me. I write like I’m working a jigsaw puzzle. Anyway, this what the Universe had to say that got me off on this tangent.

I know a lot, Silver.

But what I couldn’t possibly know is what YOU will think next.

And for those very thoughts worlds will be born that even I could not have brought forth.

Thanks from everyone, everywhere, always –
The Universe

P.S. No pressure, Silver.

Ha! No pressure? That’s easy for the Big U to say. But see, this why I think it is more fun to be a pantser (which I was in the beginning) and a puzzler. We shape the world as we go along. We color outside the lines. Don’t get me wrong. I am NOT putting down a plotter. They have very orderly minds and that’s to be admired. It’s just not me. I’m like that meme–mah brain iz like teh internets. Der are 33 tabs open, 6 are glitching and where teh heck is teh music comin from? So, let us see what worlds–and words–will be born and/or brought forth today. What world will you conquer today?

    The Universe is cute today. Never knowing what you will come up with seems right. We are all kind of like that but even more so for a writer.

    I plan on tackling my laundry and the bathrooms today. Basic normal crap.

    I hope you have a great day and stay warm!
