Evening post.....

8:00 pm

I love writing here twice a day. I like playing Romeo instead of Julliet.

Clarity is arising. Opportunity piercing through.

Build from the inside out. As sculptors do. Organize in segments. As painters do. Stay faithful, as lovers do.

If you have a good idea, that's a good place to start, of course. But don't ever, ever just dive into the idea. First you have to build a support for the good idea. If you don't, you're going to break your back, break your pick, break your heart. The second good idea is to devide the task up into doable segments. Before you start working, or at least very early on. Then it's like following reliable instructions. One task follows another. Imagination flows through that channel. Each segment can also be broken up into segments.

A friend and I are working on a project like this. It's so enticing. We have all the good ideas. We've been spinning them around for months, years actually. We live in a gallexy of pursued ideas. But today she started talking in numbers. Five characteristics of.....Five things we can say about....

I got excited. My head started clearing, because I felt confident. We know what we're doing. Not everything about it, but the broad outlines. That we can do this. Inside out. Five pieces at a time.
