The Daily Orange, Social Media, A Dream - 3 BT


The Daily Orange

Did you by any chance wonder what this link was all about - besides Ira Glass?

Well - I discovered today that I can send a
link directly to this blog - as well as to Twitter and Facebook. So I tried it out and then never got back to the blog to say why The Daily Orange was sitting there.

Yes, I am over-eating on Social Media and finding out how many places there are where I can say practically nothing at all.

Linking things I find by roaming the internet is a good way of least keepng in touch - using interesting things others are saying - without having to say anything myself.

This morning I woke from a strange and interesting dream. I tried to tell it to Jim but the more I tried to tell him the more the dream disintegrated. I remember thinking "this would be a great way to tell a story." And then it was gone. Slipping through my fingers like mercury as I tried to pick it up.

Does that happen to you? Do you get those wonderful ideas that bubble up from the unconscious when your "editor" is off-guard. I hope I am working on something while I sleep and that one morning it will be there for me, a sudden inspiration -ready to go.
