Maybe I'll go goof around and get some ideas!
Where do I get my ideas from? You might as well have asked that of Beethoven. He was goofing around in Germany like everybody else, and all of a sudden this stuff came gushing out of him. It was music.
I was goofing around like everybody else in Indiana, and all of a sudden this stuff came gushing out. It was disgust with civilization.

My fave Vonnegut book is 'Fates Worse Than Death'.
I ended up giving it to a guy in the US military who was based near Nagasaki.
I loved that book. Have looked for it since but haven't found it.
Are you doing the whole Artist's Way thing? Not just the "no reading" thing?
Overboard - My favorite Vonnegut was "Gallapagos" in which everybody eventually morphed into sea lions, or was it seals?
Billie - When I allow myself to read again (Saturday!), I will reread the book, plus I have Vein of Gold and The Sound of Paper. I think I will choose the suggestions that will work best for me rather than slavishly trying to follow step-by-step this time. The walks (only with my dog), the Morning Pages, the Artist's Altar, some of these ideas would be good to get back to.
