You have to use it or
you lose it. True dat you know. The brain needs something to do otherwise it
begins to shut down. Movies are fine for a dose of emotion, but you really
should have your head in a book as well. Reading a novel pretty fast seems to
do the trick for piecing words together again. Even typing keys in the right
order can be hard to get the hang of after a drought. Good job typewriters are extinct or we’d never get anywhere would we. There’d be umpteen screwed-up
pages a minute flying over the shoulder.
The alphabet is the
best remedy for a fuzzy-headed hangover from life. It’s like being in the
matrix. And soon enough, when you’re getting back on track and the gears aren't slipping so much, you find yourself dipping in and out of the thesaurus quicker
than Lewis Hamilton in a pit stop. Finding a word is a small inconvenience,
rather than a DON’T PASS GO sign. You find you’re not so bad at arranging this code of 26.
Not bad at all actually. They’re in your power. That’s a confidence booster.
The screen is
off-putting, and so is being hunched over a desk, so an hour or so every week
or so is more than enough to reel off a masterpiece every once in a while. Not
unless you have deadlines, and cash to earn.
It's a strange calling, sitting down to force-feed geese write. Born of conflict, yet a harmonious marriage.
