Perhaps you’re bored. You’re sitting on the couch, casually channel surfing for something that looks worthwhile. You finally switch off the TV and sit quietly for a minute. You remember that creative writing essay that’s due on Friday, and it’s Thursday. For a minute you panic, and then calm down. It’s Thursday, and the essay isn’t due until tomorrow. You turn the TV back on, and flip to the movie channel. There’s an old western movie on, and you’re inspired to write about cowboys, life on the ranch, and old style shoot outs with the law. Bordom banished!
