Prompts.
We all need them and use them; ask for them, and sometimes, on rare
occasions, when the old brain is really functioning at full capacity, we make
our own. Or better yet are those even rarer occasions, when a part of your
brain actually writes the majority of a piece for you before you even realize
that it’s happened.
There are times when usually in the shower or driving when something hits me, that I’ve got
something good going on up there, and that I have got to retain it until I can
write it down! Funny but I keep telling myself not to forget it. I
keep repeating the lines that my brain so artfully scripted for me, trying to
commit them to memory. But at the same time another part of my brain is
writing the rest of the story. It is expanding it and it runs different
scenarios and applying the not yet written piece to my current life
events. It’s working its little ass off! Seems like my brain is
constipated, words don’t come out so easily! LOL!
Oh, and I have noticed that once I got that little tidbit
written down, I got this really big sense of relief and then my brain
just goes freaking quiet and suddenly, it shuts up! It’s like it has
done its job and it just punched out for the day, leaving me there alone to
sort out the rest and by which after committed to paper, it doesn’t have the
same look or I feel that it did when it was bouncing around in my head or just
when I think. That’s just my brain yanking the chain for doubting it in
the first place! It has brought brilliance but I give it a chance to
recoup! This is what my brain birthed this morning at 6a.m. I should name
it “The Shower Chronicles” because that’s when it happened. I wrote it
wrapped in a towel and dripping wet because I thought I had brilliance in the making! (I think my
brain is constipated.) But I’ll be darned if I’m going to waste it! Well what
else am I going to do with it; I have a love / hate relationship with the
delete button.
Okay I’m finished. Now that I read back over this piece, I
don’t think my brain is constipated, I think it just has gas.
