The Fire Hose

I have a sweet friend who is in the middle of changing her life too. We were talking about each of our plans and how long its going to take each of us to get to where we want to be. She has to get through the course of education that is going to take her to her next career an d I have a goal of how many books I want to have in print before I quit my day job.

She has a five-year plan, I only have a two-year plan. I was talking about how I was overflowing with story ideas and that these new ideas weren’t even part of the original list that I already had.

It was then that she said, “Yeah, the Muses seem to be spraying you down with a firehose.” I thought that was a perfect analogy.
