Give me an empty house and three months, and I would write nothing. Nothing.<br /><br />Mary: Thanks! And thanks for not laughing at my almost love scene. <br /><br />JSJ: I'm tellin'. <br /><br />Summer: Maybe we could start a club. Or a Life Skills Improvisation Olympics. Just don't ask me to act or give a speech. <br /><br />Linda: I think there is some old proverb that goes something like: Man Plans, God Laughs.

I much prefer to have a plan and then be able to execute it flawlessly. Much less stressful. However, real life is far from flawless and so I often have to improvise. I just don't especially like to. Maybe that's why I was a Cub Scout leader. That 'be prepared' attitude appealed to me. (The fact that no other parent volunteered had something to do with it, too)<br /><br />The funny thing is that improvisation is what I live by when it comes to writing. For someone who loves to plan and make to-do lists for every other aspect of my life, I just can't manage it when it comes to writing. I can't put together a plot outline to save my life. Nothing scares away the muse faster then trying to put together a plot before I start to write.Marynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-672034718436913913.post-39783957434721414352010-11-29T10:29:51.553-05:002010-11-29T10:29:51.553-05:00In a time crunch like NaNo I have no improv skillz...In a time crunch like NaNo I have no improv skillz whatsoever.
