The Tip of My Pen

Typically a brain freeze would be a good/bad thing! When I think of a brain freeze, the following things come to mind: laughing with my family/friends, bright colored sunglasses, swim suits, that perfect sunny day where the air is a touch hot but has a gentle cool breeze that teases at your skin, birds singing a sweet melody, and  sweetly frosted drinks (alcoholic or not)! Then BAM!!! It hits without notice temporarily halting all thoughts and stunning you motionless! This is a brain freeze I welcome with an open heart and a huge smile!

My brain freezer, on the other hand, is one that has left me feeling like my head is utterly empty. No whispered secrets blowing through the caverns of my heart, void of fantastically exciting stories building within the confines of my imagination, and even drained of the random jumbled thoughts I have to sort out like a unanswerable riddle. Nothing!

Empty! Maybe I just simply need a break, I tell myself! Maybe I've poured too much of myself into the tip of my pen, and I'm unavoidably on 'E' (and gas prices are soaring too high to get a refill :))

Whatever the reason, it SUCKS!! A writer never feels fully alive unless tangled up in the grandest of adventures spinning in their own head! Never feels more accomplished then when she can put her pen to paper and create with words the deepest most thought provoking tale that reads like that favorite song, which instantly brings you to heartfelt, soul deep tears every time you listen to it.

So I sit back and trust that I'm not forever empty, and my temporary state of arrest will be like that of a passing unremembered dream.
