The things I remember are almost always the big moments- production days and meetings with friends and big, shining, crazy challenges that were overcome. But when I look at most of my life, all of that exciting stuff happens because I spend lots and lots of time pulling things out and putting them in bags. And pulling them out of bags and putting them away. And over and over and over this dull, methodical work fills the interstitial spaces and lets me do what's big.
Can you write a good scene about what's interstitial? Can you make us see the importance, the value and the grace in what is mundane?
I hope you can. Because I want to value these scenes in my life, too.
