Today's lesson: Pay attention!
I like to have a bowl of blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries with my breakfast. I buy frozen berries and thaw them in the microwave at 50% power.
This morning, I forgot to adjust the power level. Here's the result:

I clearly need to pay extra attention to detail today to avoid making more mistakes!
This is also the sort of lesson that I can apply to my writing. I tend to have the bad guys or the weather causing problems for my characters. I need to remember to include complications caused by the characters' inattention or haste.
Or random bad luck.
My characters had better watch out! LOL
Below is a photo of the new bowl of berries I thawed after cleaning up the mess. Much better! 😀
