I had a terrible writing week until I tried a trick with my old delivery route map

My old delivery route just reminds me of getting lost in the suburbs. That map would probably kill my creativity for a month.

Nah, I get the opposite. All those identical houses and dead end streets? Makes my brain work harder to find something interesting. Like a puzzle. Forces you to notice the small stuff, the weird garden gnome or the one house painted a different color.

Three houses into any suburb and I'm already zoning out. The sameness is what makes it so painful. I notice the small stuff too but by the time I spot the weird garden gnome, I've already forgotten which house had the broken fence or the pink door. It all blends together. Sorry @thomas_johnson35 but your delivery route story just proves my point, getting lost in that maze of identical streets is the opposite of a puzzle. It's a chore.
