Experimenting

[dampscribbler]

I realized yesterday that May has been a month of experimenting. The first week, I experimented with writing 1,500 words a day. (That was supposed to go the whole month, but it didn't.) This week, I experimented with having no expectations of myself. It was intended to be a "vacation" week. Worked out okay, although a few more expectations would actually have helped. (I didn't have an experiment for the second week of May, it's just happened serendipitously and I only noticed it yesterday, when I was planning an experiment for next week.) Next week, I intend to write down every idea I get. This will necessitate getting several small notebooks so there is always one nearby, and making sure a pen is paired with each one. I get so many ideas every day, but I never do anything with them. I'd like to see what happens when I intentionally record each one.
