Will Blog for Food.

When I titled this blog "Once in a While Ramblings"...it has proved to be just that! I'm lucky if I get a blog out once a month, sometimes there might be a three month time gap, oops! The trouble with blogging is...I do have different thoughts pretty much on any day, that may or may not could be turned into a blog, but sometimes it's just a little difficult to find an angle that I want to say something. I always try to think about who might be reading it, even if I don't have that many followers. I try to write stuff that will be fun for me to look back and read later on as well. If I was getting paid to blog, I'm sure I could find fifty different angles to say the exact same thing. But when I blog for my own enjoyment or to get something off my chest, I do my best to make sure it's a thought worth writing out for others to read. I have had moods where I could write every day and come up with poems/skits/short stories, etc. but those moods tend to self-destruct. I guess the truth is I'm most creative when I'm sleep-deprived...like a two week seasonal mania type thing, if that exists. But if I get too worked up and get all hyper, it's not really a great thing in the end...cause eventually I crash and it was like I was jumping from one thing to another so fast I couldn't really slow down to be my true self...although I have written some pretty thought-provoking interesting pieces during those times! And those times were really few and far between, but they did inspire a creative spark. My imagination is wild enough to take me any place I want to go. I don't have to be a crazy person to be creative, although many a great artist/poet/writer has been under the influence of who knows what! But I'd much rather just write from the soul...and get my ten plus hours of sleep a night! ;) Mellow is my hallmark.
