Type 2 (due May 5)

Last type 2 post! OH YEAH!!

I found it interesting how often writing came into play in 100 Ideas - I think I sometimes get stuck in a rut when it comes to thinking about new ideas. I'm so worried about coming up with a visual that I forget that writing is a great way to explore and "sketch" my thoughts.

I have done a few of the 100 ideas, but there are tons that I want to try out. I have never actually written about my relationship with my washing machine. Thought of, yes. For anyone who wants to know, I happen to get along much better with our new washer - I swear the old one had a grudge against me... breaking and leaking water all over the basement (twice)... eating my socks... shrinking my new t-shirts... grumble grumble...

I guess my usual way to come up with new ideas is to day dream. I'll see or read something and it makes me think of something else. I used keep a sketch book with me (and actually use it) but I've kinda gotten lazy.
