It's a function of my personality that there are always a million things floating around in my brain. Ideas for books or poems, songs that automatically create figure skating routines in my head, words I think are funny, scraps of trivia from a random book I read when I was seven...etc., etc., etc. The problem becomes the corralling of these various scraps into something I want to write about (or, terrifyingly, that you might want to read about--eek!).
I thought I would ask you, my faithful reader or two, for help. My original intention was to find a button I could stick up on the side of this blog for people to click when they had an idea, sort of a suggestion box type area. That would make it easier for everyone to find, I thought. Sadly, Blogger has no such option.
So I'll start here. If you have any ideas of things I could write about, or babble about, or questions you've wondered, or essays that might be interesting, or story/poem ideas, links I might have, or whatever, comment away! Post it here to begin with and then, as this moves further down the page, please be aware that you can do that same in the comment section of any post, even if it has nothing to do with the post you comment in. It'd be easier if you could click on something on here to email it directly to me, but until I find a way to make that happen, eez not possible.
I'll collect anything and everything I get and answer/do the challenges that trip something in my brain. Only a couple of things: I probably won't do all of them if this starts being a regular thing or if I can't think of anything to really say about it. I'll certainly give you credit if you wish it, or can leave you anonymous if you prefer (you'll probably want to post anonymously in this case). Also, chances are starvingly skinny to none that I'll do anything about politics. We like to avoid this, we does.
So, help me out here, guys! I know at least two people read this on a fairly regular basis and others might sneak in every once in a while. Let's get me writing! I need the practice.

Awww...and all that I can think of is related to politics. ;)
Actually, ever since our emails from a while ago (time has no meaning) I've been wanting to pick your brain on other religious/cult/fringe sub-cultures. You had a very unique and grounded perspective.
Of course, this could be a conversation that would be better to have in person. When are you dog-sitting again?! ;)
Well, you could use that ghastly spider post you left on my Facebook page...you can tell ed's story. (Only, maybe you could let ed live.)
Actually, last night I decided I was going to use that story--significantly cleaned up and slightly expanded and modernized--to enter a couple of flash fiction contests. Brilliant!
And his name shall not be Ed. Too many associations.
