Intro to insanity

I’ve been getting a lot of flack lately for not keeping up on my writing. I guess I should apologize. Not only have I not had the time but I really haven’t been in the mood, nor have I had much of anything to write about.

Life is splendid right now yet lacking interesting news, so I have been getting progressively more upset with myself for being unable to put words down. I suppose I could work on posts which are random and poorly thought out, but that’s never much fun for anyone (and often results in weird rambling posts such as this). The good news is that I may have come up with a fitting solution.

I was out for drinks with another writer friend last week and was telling the sad tale of my ongoing block. We were troubleshooting and trying to come up with resolutions to my problem when an idea struck me.

I want you to tell me what to write about. Yes, you.

Whether you email me with a random word or send me a Facebook message asking my opinion on such and such, it really doesn’t matter. I may not spit out your requests in a timely manner but I’m intrigued by the idea that by putting the ideas in your hands, I become limitless in what may come out.

It’s bizarre and random but I like it.

I’ve already received my first task, which came from my writer friend. He very recently took a Creative Writing class and has challenged me to complete the same series of assignments which were required work for him. Sadly, I will not get course credit for this work but I will get practice and if all goes well, I’ll likely join his Writing Circle, which is comprised of his former classmates. Good incentive, no doubt.

So, here goes… Wish me luck.
