Thanks for suggesting this and kicking it off! I’m also impressed you finished NaNoWriMo - I quit around 3 days in every time I tried, and haven’t tried in more than 10 years. Maybe this year…
Seinfeld is an interesting beast. It was so ground breaking but it’s aged poorly, in part I think, because so many other shows borrowed the ideas and tropes it created.
The trope borrowing aspect of Seinfeld is interesting to consider - I'd have to mull that over. The backwards episode of Seinfeld was extremely clever and well done.
Great answers, and thanks again for suggesting this!
The ritual of preparing for writing makes it meditative...I wonder if it then opens the mind more for getting “in the zone”? I should try that, but then I’d have to make it writing more disciplined and purposeful, less on a whim.
Good for you for finishing NaNoWriMo! I tried that but did not come close, and it’s a hell of a task. (Maybe it’s a short story?)

Hi Bryn. Preparation might also activate neural pathways to prepare you for activities, kind of like pre-game rituals for athletes.
Good point re: NaNaWriMo - not every story is novel oe epic sized.
