Sometimes I get all these words in my
head that just want to come out. I don't know what to do with them.
So they just kinda sit there, staring each other down like this big
showdown of ideas. “You think you're the best baddest idea there
ever was, huh? Well that's where you're wrong! I'm so much more
idea-filled than you will ever be!” Spewing all these nonsensical
threats that go nowhere but are mildly entertaining to listen to in
my head. And then what am I supposed to DO with these ideas and words
and snippets of conversations? Am I supposed to transpose them into
some awesome novelly-like thing or just think them and be relatively
smug in my brain's attempt at awesomeness? I really don't know. So
that's why I'm here. Fingers just flying over the keyboard writing
the words down as they trickle out of my brain into incoherent
thoughts. Not sure what I’m doing or why I’m doing it, but I am.
I'm just doing it and doing it with pizazz.
Sometimes the words and things I come
up with when my brain is going a hundred miles an hour are so
cleverly wonderful that it makes me want to just say them out loud
and share it with the world. But I don't really know how. Like a lot
of people would go and be stand-up comedians or something with all
these wordy gems, but I don't think I could do that nor would I
really want to. I don't even know if I want to be a writer. All of my
best work has been stuff that just sorta happened. Things that I
literally just sat down and wrote them as the thoughts came to me.
The problem is that I don't ever have any ideas where to go after
that. I get stuck in this rut where I don't know how to continue or
even how to form these snippets of fun into anything remotely
resembling prose of any kind. Heck, half the time I try to say things
like this but they don't sound the same out loud as they do in my
head or on a sheet of paper. And what is up with that? Why are some
things so much better in thoughts or on paper than if you spoke them
aloud? Isn't language supposed to be fluid enough to make them both
equally viable options?
And this is why I am starting a blog.
For no other purpose than to have a place to put said word explosions
and have them go out and be free to roam about as they please. Enjoy!
