It All Counts!

I know some things don't seem to matter. After all, most moments seem trivial and insignificant. However, many stories keep us riveted upon small moments that hold aha realizations or thoughts in seemingly nothing moments that come back to haunt a character at another point in time.

Write at least one moment you had today that didn't seem significant. Maybe it was a smell that reminded you that you hated that perfume or you noticed how impatient you were standing in line at the post office. Wrap a story around that moment. You can do it. Maybe the moment of impatience made you think of your husband and how you treated him the night before when you were impatient. Maybe that moment either put you in therapy to overcome your angst or allowed you to go home and turn the relationship around with an apology.

Every moment is fuel for a story. Make every moment count.

Until next time.
