What do you write when you seem to be missing the humor that usually gets you writing a humorous article. For months I have been lacking and some have even commented that I have turned serious. Hmmm......I guess my Dark Half is showing.
I try to keep him in a box, but sometimes he over powers the "good humor" guy and things start to take a more serious tone.
"Seriously?"
"Yes, damn it! Get back in your box biocth!"
I actually am forcing myself to write this. It isn't flowing and my fingers, for once, can actually keep up with my thoughts - how weird. My fingers are usually fumbling across the keys, with stiff knuckles and one finger that permanently is "asleep," trying to type out what is coming to mind. My four finger hunt and peck method is slow, but generally gets the words out in some type of symbolancse Symbellace order.
Still, my creative bug has some how found someone's roach motel. I just have to find a way to get him out from the sticky interior of the box.
"Have any nail polish? Nail polish works well."
"I told you to get back in the box. Don't make me pull this article over and whup your butt!"
At times, it is easier to just skip the writing and allow others to be creative. Perhaps my "bug" is just sleeping it off. I wonder what party he went to and if that party would allow me to join. With my recent luck, they would probably be a party of strangers and not invite me.
So, I digress as I struggle with what to write. Should I tell about the snake that went up my cousin pants leg? The Raccoon that woke me up when he jumped on my chest? Maybe about the time I was up a tree and it got cut down. There is always the time that I ran a hundred dash stripping my clothes off as I ran. Some how that last one wasn't too funny.
I am full of stories that could come out, but what do I do to them to make them special for you the reader. In many cases, it is a situation where you had to be there. So, the story isn't the problem. It is getting you there and tickling your funny bone when you arrive. Not an easy task for such discerning readers as you are.
Perhaps the problem is the weather. Maybe it is the fact that all three of our vehicles broke down.....on the same day....within two hours. Maybe it is all of the VA and Social Security paper work I have had to fill out. Speaking of which, why do I get the feeling that when they said "Sex" I should have said "YES!"?
Maybe it has just been the lack of sleep and the constant pain. Don't worry, I have lived with it for over twenty years, but I can wish.
After the vehicle problems we had an ice storm that broke two the vehicles we had just fixed.
Hiccups. Live is full of them, but we manage and go forward. So, I write and wonder where my muse is. Where did the bug go and how do I trap the little bugger. Have to be careful in this. I would want to harm the little fellow.
So, why am I writing this? Soosalah suggested I do. It sounded like an idea and I ran with it. Does it help? Who knows, but just maybe. Thanks Soosalah.
BTW! PLEASE don't tell my wife, she is full of ideas of what I should do!!! I wouldn't want her to get the wrong idea.......
