Rubik’s Cube

Do you remember the Rubik’s Cube puzzle game? I tried it once or twice and found it more frustrating than fun. Twisting the cube, turning it one way then the other, until finally throwing it across the room and swearing at it. 

So much for a “fun” game.

Now I have a story in the works, and struggling through it reminded me of that maddening little cube. All the pieces are there, but I couldn’t seem to get them lined up correctly. This struggle went on for a couple of weeks – making notes, changing scenes, making more notes. It just wasn’t working for me and I really didn’t want to get to that point where the computer goes flying across the room. I put it aside for a few weeks and finally went back to it. 

Nothing.

So I finally said, you know what? Maybe this isn’t the right book at the right time. This was like an epiphany for me! It’s on the shelf for the time being. My mind is finally relaxed and free of the pressure I was putting on myself to get that book done.

Lo and behold! A new book popped into my head and I realized it had been sitting on the back shelf of my mind all the time, patiently waiting its turn to be told. The new book is flowing like lava from a volcano and I couldn’t be happier about it. Characters make sense, the segues are perfect, and the story is coming together in a perfect fit.

My Rubik’s Cube book will just have to wait a while longer.
