Muddled

That's the only word that comes to mind regarding my thoughts lately. Several ideas have come to me that I would like to put on the blog, but obviously none of them have come to fruition.

This may be too graphic of a word picture to use here, but it just fits so well! Forgive me if it offends...I simply don't know of a better way to describe how I write.

You know how your stomach starts churning, gurgling and rumbling before you get sick to your stomach? You can't pinpoint the exact time you're going to have to make a mad dash for the bathroom, but you know it's imminent. You're not given the option of penciling it in on your calendar to make sure it fits in your schedule. Neither can you force yourself to just sit down and let it all out! But when it's time, it's time!

That's how I write. My mind starts churning, gurgling and rumbling. I don't know what I'm supposed to write about, nor do I know when it's coming. I can't force myself to sit down and "let it all out." But when it's time, it's time! It just flows forth and that's that!

Like I said, not a very pretty word picture, but a picture nonetheless. :)

I guess lately I'm just having a severe case of verbal constipation. HA!

I completely agree! When it's there...it's there. When it's not........your fingers are just frozen.
