"Any idea that is worthwhile is very nearly a stupid one." (or something like that)*
- Michel Gondry
*not actually part of the quote
I feel like all my ideas are stupid. And not the secretly brilliant ones disguised as stupid but objectively ridiculous. Except for starting to write letters to my father. That was a good idea. But everything else, no good. Actually I take that back. In truth I think far too highly of my ideas. I love them dearly. I hold them so close that no one else can see them. Mine all mine.
I actually just got a great idea. I must water our house plants and water our garden. I believe our brown little conifer on our table is beyond help so maybe instead of watering it I will just sing to it and hope that it had lived long enough to bear seeds and multiply. I think we will be enjoying its kin for years to come... somewhere.

my ideas usually seem stupid with time. They begin as brilliant little seedlings and turn into plants beyond my intentions. They run away with me. And get stupid. Er.
Does that make any sense? Read it again. It's a brilliant idea...
Write 1,000 words. Make it part of your job, your life. Do it at the kitchen table or outside on a bench, but do it.
Is that a challenge?
