And so this is what happens when I’m not writing

I’ve been struggling the last couple of weeks with some pieces of my plot not fitting together very well … or at all. I decided to take a break and focus my attention elsewhere in the hope that my subconscious will figure things out while I’m otherwise engaged.

However, I should know that when I choose to distract myself by venturing into the kitchen, the results are never pretty. I cook because I like to eat, not because I derive any artistic satisfaction from it. Preparing a meal is almost always the gateway to endless frustration and clean up. Even when I meticulously pre-plan every step to maximize efficiency in my small kitchen, it inevitably devolves into chaos.

The last kitchen disaster inspired me to film the aftermath of dinner preparations.
