Word Ramble
So, I just opened up about 3 different word documents as if to write something... as if clicking "new blank document" would somehow jolt my inspiration. (I'm a typing kind of writer, so I like word documents more than note paper. No idea why.) But, nothing came. Sometimes it just seems like I go so long before I write something else. Maybe because I'm not constant and consistent in my writing like at some points in my life. But I want to write! Sometimes when I catch myself "daydreaming," I feel like I'm really "word dreaming" of the ways words could go together in a sentence---or, no, even a sentence fragment. Or sometimes I hear a word or phrase in class that just, well, uh, speaks to me, I guess, and I scribble it down on the corner of my notes (they're profound, but regrettably to be never looked at again). Oh, and this even happens in different languages! Forget it just having to be words in English that are altogether stimulating. I mean, my "word dreaming" is sometimes in Spanish, and I don't even know it that well. I mean ojalá que ustedes me comprendan. Language is a funny thing. The way my mind works is another one of those things.
