What’s All This Then!

I enjoy the challenge of writing. Sometimes it’s difficult to give meaning and structure to a half-baked idea. At those times, it feels like the closest that I’ll ever come to child bearing — lots of wailing and pain. But then, my thought sees the light of day (or at least, the glow of the monitor). On shaking legs, it begins to walk until it’s running full speed under its own power, knocking things over and scaring the cat. Before I know, it has matured and moved out to start raising a family of other half-baked ideas. Sadly, it never writes or calls me.

I wish I were proficient enough to make some great money through writing. You know, a couple of books deals, a rock-and-roll type tour to sign my precious tomes, along with following of literary groupies. But what would I write about?

To answer this, I did a little market research. Lucky for me, there is market down the street run by midgets. Unfortunately, I got very little information from them so I turned to the Internet. It seems that the highest selling books are cookbooks. The second highest sellers are diet books. All I need to do then is write about how to cook the greatest meal possible and then how to not eat it. I think it would sell very well. Think of all the people who buy toys and never take them out of the box to play with them. My published words would appeal to the cooking version of these folks.

Oh well. For now, I keep work on this mental exertion know as writing. Heaven knows I need the exercise. If you see me with a bulging forehead, I swear that I have not taken steroids. Owww… I think I just pulled a hamstring in my neocortex…
