I was taught that when I wanted to write creatively that I needed to write down my thoughts and run with it. They called it brainstorming and I am not so sure that you would want me to do that today. Brainstorming gives me a headache. Allow me to explain.
This morning I woke up brainstorming an article for SearchWarp. I just knew that I had to write something new and exciting. So, off to my computer I dashed. But, when I turned on my computer, I realized that I had to have my morning coffee with hazelnut before I got started. So, I went into the kitchen to start the coffee.
But, when I noticed that there were a few dishes in the sink I realized that I needed to wash them. And, as I did the dishes it occurred to me that the counters needed to be wiped down, the floor swept, laundry started and the trash taken out.
While I was taking the trash out, I noticed that the rose garden needed to be watered so I went to get the hose and noticed that the sprinkler was still attached, so I watered the lawn and decided to pick some weeds.
It was only then that I remembered that I had neglected to start the coffee. Therefore, I went back into the kitchen, poured some water in Mr. Coffee, and went into the cupboard to get the coffee grounds, when I realized that I would need to buy some more coffee soon. So, I added it to my shopping list, along with butter, and sugar, and flower, soda, water, soap, canned goods, bread, cereal and other items.
When I finished making out my shopping list I knew that I would have to shower before I went to the store, so into the shower I went. When I was done with my morning shower I remembered that I had left the sprinkler running on the lawn so I went to turn it off and remembered that I needed to water the rose garden.
While I was watering the rose garden I noticed how beautiful the flowers looked and thought of how nice a bouquet would look on my kitchen table so I went to get some scissors to clip some blossoms. But, while I was retrieving the scissors I noticed some mail that I had not yet opened, so I opened it and found some bills that needed to be paid. So, I got out my checkbook and started writing out payments.
It was only then that I remembered that I had started the coffee, so I went into the kitchen to get a cup, but Mr. Coffee had already gone cold. I was about to start a fresh part of coffee, but remembered that the water was still running in the rose garden. I was about to turn off the water in the garden, but remembered that the laundry needed to be put into the dryer. I was about to put the laundry into the dryer and remembered that I was brainstorming an article for SearchWarp.
So, I went back to my computer and was about to start typing when I realized that it was about lunchtime and I had not eaten all day, so I went back into the kitchen to get something to eat. It was then that I realized I had a furious headache, so I went to get some aspirin, which I had neglected to put on my shopping list.
That is when it occurred to me that brainstorming gives me a headache.
