Curiouser

This
is how Alice described her experience in Wonderland, and it's my reaction when
I realize I'm writing myself down a rabbit hole.
I used
to get frustrated, delete my work and start over. Now, I've learned to step
back and ask my inner helper what I should do. More often than not, the answer
I get shows me how the seeming rabbit hole actually fits the story by reminding
me of Psalm 77:19 which tells how God led the Israelites through the Red Sea,
"...a pathway no one knew was there."
Frequently,
my inner guide helps me weave a better story than if I just forged ahead
without paying heed. Of course, this means the occasional rewrite of portions
of my story, but the end result is worth the extra effort.
