Some mornings you just stare at the
blank page and start writing or typing or whatever it is you do and
hope that it comes out less horrible than this. You just keep going
until you break on through to the other side like Jim Morrison said
not that I worship Morrison because he doesn't sound like the
greatest guy in the world although he is dead but some don't believe
that. They called him the Lizard King which seems weird but then his
band was called The Doors which is no less weird. Their music was
weird I remember the first time I heard it was in the eighth grade.
Never experienced anything like it I'm not sure I love it but it's
extremely distinctive. It's weird enough to come from a band called
The Doors fronted by a man called the Lizard King.
Some days you break on through other
days not so much maybe you forget how to use punctuation except for
periods. It's not the worst thing people can figure things out for
themselves like where the breaks go and such. But still you'd rather
be composing something meaningful rather than just slapping words
together stapling them onto anything that doesn't move like political
posters or whatever. Sometimes it's hard to find meaning in the words
there's only letters that make up the words and they all come
together as sentences and paragraphs and read like the manifesto of a
crazy person called the Lizard King.
That's the problem with writing though.
You're never done you just keep going until somehow it all makes
sense or something resembling sense. The blank page is your enemy and
you must obliterate it with words. Or go outside for a nice walk and
hope inspiration strikes. More likely it's lightning.
