My mind is a mess! I'm sitting here at my desk needing to meet a deadline because I have a meeting with the State office in the morning and my mind keeps wandering. I go from - hmmm, how can I improve my photography. So I go from the correct aperture - to shutterspeed - to exposure compensation - to how to correctly use my flash - to the rule of thirds... and why? Why do I do this? My mind wanders off... and then I automatically switch to the children's area - about the wild colors that sets off my senses (the kids will LOVE it) - to the awesome pirate ship - the the huts where the kids can run in and out of - to the band that I'm praying we'll find...well then - I switch once more to a novel - if I were to write a novel - what would I write about. Then I go to character development - what would be their names, their personalities - their life experiences... are they moody, depressed, critical? I need to get a journal to log my thoughts... to give some depth to my characters. And throughout this random and crazy thought process, I have details that still are not worked out sitting lifeless on my desk. Boo to the paperwork that is stalking me during my time of extreme daydreaming.
To make things worst - I had a coworker in my office talking about next years planning and time tables. I sat here and smile as my mind wandered. The part of my brain that is supposed to be listening intently was having fun with the part of my brain that would rather daydream.
Crap here comes the boss - gotta go.
