30,000 Words in November

 I almost signed up for this challenge, of writing and submitting 30,000 words in the month of November. That would be about 1,000 words a day, a mere fraction of the words, now mostly unspoken, that flow through my mind in the course of a day. That these words would be unlistened to or unread is irrelevant. Here are some examples of what I might have written if I'd accepted the challenge:

  I had a vivid dream last night but because I hadn't documented it in writing, I'm doomed to having snippits of it insert themselves at random into my mind. Here goes: Marilyn is to come to my house and pick me up to take me somewhere, most likely to a doctor's appointment. Someone else is here with me, I can't recall who, a doppelganger maybe. It seems M. is late as when she enters, she is in a hurry (Big surprise.) I'm not ready, have not showered, so am afraid I may offend the doctor, say I won't bother to go, but I am overruled. We leave, but first must stop at the fairground and as we go by one of the main buildings, we can see that it is a fully stocked store, with all imaginable items on colorful display, awaiting buyers. I remark to M. that I had seen this before, in a dream I'd had. The rest of this present  dream is now lost, presumably never to resurface.

  Yesterday, at my final session of Cardiac Rehabilitation, the daily trivia question appeared on the board on the wall, as usual. I usually pose this question to my sons, one on email and the other in person. As I drove out of the parking lot, I realized I couldn't recall the question, had absolutely no memory of it. No big deal, benign question and probably delivered to patronizing recipients anyway. 

  This morning, as I was waking up, going through the process of what words would flood my mind that day, yesterday's trivia question sprung, unbidden, into my mind. I recalled the question, uncharacteristically trivial even in the spectrum of trivia:  "How many CHUGGAS  are there before CHOO CHOO?"  I had thought only 2 chuggas, but I must have been thinking of the title, because as Chris pointed out, by reciting, there are considerably more. 

(I don't have word count, or if I do, I don't know how to access  it, but this must be several hundred words and I could continue,  but I'll spare you, O Blog.
