Update I story idea

Okay did my rant on what'ssap! Need to save it! Lots of good ideas in there clarified my thinking quite a bit! 
Now have a new story idea. 
A story based on what'ssap conversations! Why not right? There have been novels based I letters, email conversations, telephone calls... Diary entries - What'ssap is the next thing! It's got group chats personal chats potential to demonstrate human capacity to simultaneously think of many things and to jump from one to another likd a monkey with ease! 
Takes stream of consciousness writing to a new level really! A kind of writing experiment like the ones by the New York school poets!

Mind brimming with things to write!

Yes indeed! My mind is just full now - 
I have two or more stories I need to wrote down- stories I made up for the kids 
I want to note my discomfort with xenophobia and racism I am experiencing now
I want to write all the funny sweet things my kids are saying! 

I also want to rush around doing my work! Like pack akshaya's books and get ready for her school! 

But.. Writing first!
