I love consistency in my life and considered myself unimaginative (“not very creative”) five years ago. Twenty-two books, several songs, a hundred short stories, and hundreds of poems later, I still love consistency, but am less certain about it being the last refuge of the unimaginative.
Hi Russ,
LOL! The exception once again proves the rule. And besides, there are lots of different forms and variations of consistency. We are not all consistent about the same things, all the time, or even most of the time.
Thanks for making me think!
Kevin
