Chalk up another one for making it up as you go along

We’ve established I never know what the heck is going on. I just ended a chapter with a “that can’t be good” type cliff hanger (ok, that’s exactly the words upon which the chapter ends) and I have no idea what “that” is, or why it isn’t good yet.

And I used to spend time dwelling on how I’m a horrible person for not having much in the way of a plan. Then I was listening to an audio book that had an interview with the author at the end… and she’s like… yup. Know how it starts, know how it ends. All points in between are fluid. And I was like… YAAY!! She makes money from not knowing what’s going on!!

Then I’m watching this thing on CSPAN (oh my god. I can’t believe I just said that–I’m so boring and stuffy that I need to die. Really.)… and it’s a table discussion with some scholars, the writers and cast of 24 and hosted by Rush Limbaugh. And the writers reveal… they have no idea what’s going on from one episode to the next… and they start shooting Season 6 in a few weeks and have NO IDEA what it’s going to be about. China’s involved and that’s about it.

see!!?? It’s OK to not have a plan!! horray for serendipity!!!
