I know I don't post as often as I should. I don't do anything as often as I should. I do things I shouldn't do more often than I should. It's not my fault. You see, I don't write. The reasonably good posts that is. I am written. I sit here sometimes for five minutes staring blankly at the monitor. Eventually my mind goes numb and my fingers spring into action and words appear on the screen. When I look back on some of these posts I chuckle to myself and think... If I had sat down with the intent to write that the words would not have come. I could not have done it. The words have nothing and everything to do with me. They are entities in and of themselves.Sometimes I wonder if a little person exists inside my head driving me like that little alien in Men in Black drove Vincent D'onofrio. Now see I stopped to find a picture of said little alien and I lost my train of thought. Then again I didn't so much lose it as it turned into an ant of thought.
[ETA my husband just encouraged me by saying 1) "Your blog was good baby, but it wasn't Vincent D'onofrio being driven by the little alien, it was the old man. He got driven into the morgue and they pulled his ear and his face opened up.", and 2) "Don't let the facts get in the way of your creativity!".]
Facts are overrated ;)

There used to be a comic in the UK that had a feature called "The Numskulls" about little men that lived in your head and pulled the levers to make you do things. that seriously messed me up as a child "what if one falls out of my head and I can't look left any more?"
ReplyDeletelike I said, messed up!

Recent blog post: Clearer signup and CommentLuv blogger released
Did you ever meet anyone who did anything of interest who was not suitably messed up?
ReplyDeleteThanks, I got the email about the Blogger CommentLuv but I froze up and freaked out thinking I would delete my blog if I did anything. I will give it a try, I promise. But if my blog goes by the wayside I will bombard you with Hanson lyrics.
Your husband reminds me of my husband....always has the set the facts straight...LOL!!

I've tried for years to sit and write, but it has never worked for me. I can't force myself to write. When it comes, it comes. Sometimes in short little spurts. Sometimes in long entries that may never leave the confines of my "writing journal." It makes for a spotty blog, where some weeks I write a post a day and other weeks I'm lucky if one post is written. But otherwise, it makes my hobby of writing seem less like work and more like an outlet that is there when my mind is ready.
