My mind is bogged in websites and festivals and the blogging component of my brain is not getting much love.
I do wish to write. Sometimes something meaningful comes from a topic suggestion. Makes me delve into something I hadn't thought of myself...
Help me dig out something good. I don't want to write odes to PMS or do lazy little intermissions.
You deserve better.
So, is there anything you want to know about? Or just a quirky writing challenge? Please be my brain in these here frantic times.
Hit me with your bloggy sticks - hit me! hit me!

How about ... three movie and/or book characters that you connected with the most. I don't mean that you thought were cool or wish you looked like, or that had a cutesy love story that you envied...i mean a woman in a story who pulled on your soul while you read/watched. a woman that you read about and thought "my God, that is EXACTLY how i felt when such-and-such happened to me and I can't believe that someone else understands how that feels"
ReplyDeleteor how about doing a running narrative of Monte? Watch him closely for an hour, right down everything he does step by step "picked up yellow block, tasted it, made face, tasted it again, dropped it, picked up old broken shoelace, tried to stuff it in his shirt...etcetc" and then when you are done, try to right a comical inner monologue of what Monte was contemplating during that time. We all wish we could hear their thoughts...but the best lines I have ever heard were from Steven Wright. He quotes the inner thoughts of a newborn "Day one: still tired from the move. Day two: everyone talks to me like i'm an idiot"
