Poop Head
August 3rd, 2005Writing is really hard for me right now. Which is bad. Bad for you because you don’t get updates in any sort of timely fashion. Very bad for me because I’m staring at a WRITING TEST which I must complete by Monday in order to test out of my school program’s writing course.
But the words and sentences and pictures they make will not come. They’re all stuck in a cloud of second-guesses and self-doubt and lack of motivation. The last one isn’t completely my fault – my assigned topic is methamphetamines, which, when you think about it, is really ironic. But it’s not interesting to me, and I’m staring to fear it. At least I can spell it now. That took a while.
Something has happened to me this summer. I’m all slow and fudgy. I feel like my mind, my words, are wading through a sea of muck, possibly made up of dog poop.
Don’t get me wrong: I like the dogs. A lot. But my brain is just…gone. No wait, it’s here. I think.
Anyone have some meth?
Thanks for dropping by. I'm Meg, and I write offbeat stories about media and the culture that shapes us.
There is a huge article on Meth in the latest Newsweek – maybe it will get you jumpstarted?
Well, you know if you need some meth, I have the “Apple-connection”.
I must emphasize that I am, of course, kidding.
I laugh every time I come to your blog page because at the right is a picture of a used condom on the sidewalk.
I think the best part is that whenever you write your memoirs, the chapter covering the summer of 2005 could be titled “Dogs and Meth”.
(To the tune of You’ll Never Walk Alone)
Write on through the wind, write on through the rain,
Though your dreams be tossed and blown.
Write on, write on with hope in your heart
And you’ll nev – er
Okay, stopping now.
Blog on, girl. We need you!
I am suffering the same issue lately. I have been working on the same essay for school for about a month and I just can’t seem to make it. It is painfully late… I am just thankful I have an understanding instructor.
I think I need some meth, too. *eye roll*
Good luck with your writing test and *big hugs*
Glad to hear from your beautiful self, lady.
