What Goes on in THIS Writer's Head!


I belong to an online writing club where various prompts are sent to spark spontaneous creativity. I figured since this is a website for writers, I’d share what hit my inner author today, and let you know who you’re really dealing with when you visit this blog. Don’t know that I’m painting the prettiest picture of myself but it’s honest.

I can usually be found sitting in my head obsessing.
Obsessing about what was and what it meant and why it happened that way and what if it had happened differently and what if it was different now and if it was how would that be and since it’s not what was the point and what should I do now.

I can usually be found sitting in my head obsessing.
Obsessing about some idea that just popped into my head and what I can do with it and where it could go and who could be part of it and if it would be something that Oprah would do a segment on until another idea popped in my head and I become enamored with that and follow it through as far as it takes me until I am led to another idea.


I can usually be found sitting in my head obsessing.
Obsessing about the state of the world and if things had gone one way instead of another would we be where we are and is it possible to change things as they are now and really make the world a better place and if individuals and nations would simply practice “live and let live” and be tolerant and respectful of one another would hunger end and education expand and would lives be lived more fully and harmoniously.


I can usually be found sitting in my head obsessing.
Obsessing about how much time I spend obsessing about anything and everything and how much better spent my brain would be if I stopped obsessing and started doing and then I obsess about what I would do and how I’m going to do it and when I’m going to do it and who I’m going to do it with and how much time it will take and if it will cost anything and if it does cost anything can I afford it and if I can’t afford it what will I do so that I can afford it and what would I like to do, to do what it takes to afford the thing I was going to do instead of obsessing about it.

Honest responses are welcome, and/or if this little ol’ piece prompts you to write something spontaneous- by all means: post away!- Nicky
