Today we were cruising through Galaxy WDC when a star came up on the screen that appeared to have populated planets around it. The star was Lostwordsmith The captain took an away team to planet.

and found "Not all those who wander are lost".

What do you think this means? Analyze and report.

I think Lostwordsmith is spot on. Many of those who wander off the beaten path is not lost. Some wander because they want to be different. They don't want to be part of the collective whole. They want to blaze their own trails and stomp their own snakes.

Then there are those who like lost sheep go astray because they are making foolish mistakes. They will stay out there and wander for a long time but they are under the watchful eye of the shepherd.

Then finally there are those who are truly lost. They don't have any idea how to find their way back and need found.

"Prompt: “That’s the great secret of creativity. You treat ideas like cats: you make them follow you.” ― Ray Bradbury.
What do you think is the secret of creativity?"

I have no idea what Bradbury is talking about. I do know that I've had quite a few cats and the last thing I could ever get any of them to do was what I wanted them to do. Cats are independent animals. They are going to follow anybody unless they are tigers or lions hunting you. I disagree with Ray on that one.

The secret to creativity is not one I can share. If I share it, it will no longer be secret.

"Prompt “Cats are dangerous companions for writers because cat-watching is a near-perfect method of writing avoidance,” says Dan Greenburg."

The cat must have somebody's tongue today or the cat is out of the bag for we are cutting around today.

I guess Dan must be correct huh?

What other excuses like cats make your mind wonder and take you away from your writing?
