It is the nature of the universe—literally—to descend into chaos. To break down. It’s an observed phenomenon called entropy. The natural order of things is from order to chaos.
I think that might be why creation is so hard. Takes so much work. We’re fighting against the nature of the cosmos! Life itself, as a very concept, is a fight against entropy. That’s why it takes energy.
I had a good day today. Entropy was held off. The writing was good. The work was, too. And some cleaning at the end, since we have guests coming to stay with us for the week starting tomorrow. That’s what got me thinking about entropy; cleaning. It’s a very satisfying act, fighting against all that chaos, bringing it to order for however brief.
It’s the same thing with writing. The story is chaos until I wrestle it into order.
It’s worth the effort.
