Driving home today, my mind could not seem to settle on any topic. My brain bounced from topic to topic. Here is a little preview:

Story idea
I only have a 25 minute drive but my mind just bounced all over the place. The key here is to remember all the stuff I was thinking about during my drive and make sure I can take these fragments of thoughts and develop them or create a to do list from them.
This rambling in my brain is often what happens when I can’t sleep but that is solvable by just getting up and writing a to do list or writing down the story idea. Generally that is what keeps me awake – the story idea.
Once I’m home it is a matter of what I will work on first. Today – blog idea… next probably crochet idea or project but you just never know where my odd mind will go and what trouble it will get me into next. I’ve always said my mind is a scary place to be.
