Wow, I’m having blog writers block today, which is unusual because normally I’ve got plenty to say. So to get me over this rough patch of blogging I’ll use one of the techniques I apply when I get stuck writing a novel. The good old stream of consciousness blurb. Oh yeah it works every time, sometimes you just gotta get something down, get the words moving, free up your creativity.

Right here I go, I’m just going to write whatever comes into my head, apologies in advance for whatever comes out. Chocolate cake! Is that relevant? No, but I’d like some right now. With a super strong hot chocolate mmmm, hey that the cup on the top right hand side of this website doesn’t have coffee in it – I don’t drink coffee, I never have, and never will. No that cup of dark murky deliciousness is a cup of wickedly strong hot chocolate. God, now I’m salivating. Hairspray! who invented it and what did they used to use in the old days? Maybe the first hairspray was a sheen of egg white, sprayed out of the mouth of a servant onto the head of their mistress. This might not be as wacky as you think, did you know that egg whites make an excellent hair stiffener. No? Well they do, and I know this from first hand experience. I got suspended from high school when I smugly used egg white instead of mousse – which was banned, along with hairspray – to produce an amazing gravity defying hair do – a la Robert Smith from The Cure. Yes I know it’s sooo eighties, but I was such a rebel back then. I honestly thought I was the bees knees for having hair that messily stood up on end.

Ha! it’s a miracle, my blog block has completely disappeared! Yey Me! And thank YOU for letting me indulge myself publicly with this. Ahh I feel so much better now. So that’s my tip on overcoming writers block – you’ve seen it in action here and it works a treat. The important thing is to write whatever pops into your head, and then follow that stream of consciousness, no matter how weird or wonderful it is. Here’s one more example. Stinky farts! ewww, I like my stinky farts, but not other peoples, why do other peoples ones……..
