“…but there was nothing I could do to dim the supernovae exploding inside my brain, an endless chain of intra cranial firecrackers…”
John Green
Well, really, it was a very good day.
But the thing is I started out thinking about my blog post this morning. Kind of just meandering around in my mind, thinking about this and that. And then as the day went on I got rather a BIG idea. And I got very excited about it. I made lots of notes over a few hours and spent forever looking at images for the post on the site I use and then I looked at more and more images and had more and more ideas and got very excited and then —
Right smack dab in the middle of all of this I saw ONE RANDOM IMAGE that changed EVERYTHING, changed the whole focus and then the whole topic of the post and then I got VERY excited and starting making wild pages of notes and searching for just the right image and I searched and searched and searched and it all became rather frantic. I finally wore myself out and couldn’t even LOOK at the computer any more —
So the pugs and I took a nap.
Once we got up and I got them out and fed I was back here at the computer. I started in again on my 2nd idea. I read all my notes and started searching for just the RIGHT image again and soon the images were floating up out of the computer and all over the room and my brain was amping up and up and up and all of a sudden it amped up so much that —
KABOOOOOOOOM!!!! It just EXPLODED EVERYWHERE!!!
I still haven’t recovered from the shock. This is a hazard of the writing trade and happens to all of us on occasion but I certainly hadn’t expected it today. There were no intimations of such things on the horizon when I was calmly having morning coffee and thinking what a swell day it was. You just never know.
So I am getting off the computer now. I need to kind of scrape all the bits and parts and pieces of my brain back together and shove them in my ears and hope for the best. Tomorrow is another day. I’ll try again then…
