Sushi Lunch
Today I drove an hour out--an hour back to have sushi with my friend Karla.
Karla is a great friend who was hands down my BFF for many years until she moved to New Zealand and then Oregon, and then back to California.
While I should've been working on my book, I decided to take the time to visit with my long lost because relationships are important and I love Karla.
On the way home I listened to an interview with Brandon Stanton who photographs and writes the amazingly awesome Humans of New York.
Brandon wakes up every morning, grabs his camera, heads downtown to photograph and interview ordinary people on the streets of New York.
What he discovered is that there is no such thing as ordinary.
In the interview, he discussed the creative process and said that the one thing we all have control over is our time.
Even if you only have one hour a day to work on your creative project, you take it.
That's exactly what he does.
He breaks his projects down into bite-sized chunks and goes for it.
So when I got to my computer today, I decided to take Brandon's advice to heart.
After all, some of the best books you've ever read were written in an hour a day.
P. S. - The sushi was divine.
