July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
Write about the practice of making lists. Does list-making stifle creativity, or enhance it? When working on a big project, does making a list help organize your thinking, or cause you to feel more overwhelmed? Are you a habitual list maker, and if so, what do you list? Making Lists  I've always been a list maker. Many times people have made a big deal about list makers, but I think they are probably angry, that people who make lists get things done. Just this morning I jotted down 4 places on the web I need to go today. In this case I need a reminder. I experienced a laughable thing about making lists when I tried to take on the list challenge, which I found one day in Andre The Blog Monkey's Banana Bar's website.This was a couple of years ago. I failed the challenge. It was an extreme list making challenge and I just could not make the lists in time allotted.  Now, K gave me Alexa Dot for Christmas. List making is a breeze. Don't worry about anyone hacking my info either. I will shop where I shop, buy what is on the lists, and if they want to watch me shop OK. Just get out of my way while I fill the empty cupboard. On any new project I may be overwhelmed until I make the list. Although, I don't enjoy outlining any new story, until I get into some of the action and go back to round out characters and events. So, I kind of classify outlining with list making. Really are they two different types of lists? K is out there more than me anyway so he does a lot of the shopping with my lists. Cell phones are great for lists. Alexa throws everything onto my phone, so when I shop I just open the list. No matter how long ago I put it on there or how jumbled the list was from different needs, it's available. Also, if the TV commercial gives you an idea for a book to read from an author interview or a new product to learn about, my quick memo, is a good place to store the info. I always think I should look into things that I might buy someday even if I can never afford any of it. Good List Making is an Art!
