TMS: TOO MUCH STUFF

Sometimes more seems like better...
This sailboat has a case of the "I gotta have" and the "can't throw away"



It's tempting to think two kayaks are better than one. That you will save on that 24 gallon jug of olive oil...or shampoo...or mouthwash...

There was a reason I posted this photograph. You see it's just exactly like writing a novel. You start out with a nice clean idea and then you start to add things.
I'm writing a simple coming of age story about a young man who's looking for his father and turns into a vampire...who saves the world...and then there's this sidekick who dabbles in real estate and I need the history of the financial meltdown of 2008 in there and of course the vampire back story of all 357 years. And then they get sent forward in time and arrive at a space station...

Well you get it...

So true -- we go through life loaded down by our junk (physical, emotional, ...) -- good to weed it out of our stories.

Nice to see you back to blogging.
