The on-switch

"You write, you live. It's the on-switch. A burst of this stuff, and you're ten feet tall. You can see over the sides of the rut again."

It depends what I am writing of course. But for me it is the relaxed and lazy feeling I get after sex. Replete, content, and not going anywhere soon. Languorous. Yep. That's the word.

Take care, Pin. And if you use any of the IM programmes, my contact details are on my U-Page. I am sure we can share some separate drinking if we put our minds to it.

Now that really needs a thought-out answer, and it's far too late tonight!

No it doesn't need a thought out answer! It was mere rambling, rambled a good two hours after wise women had gone to bed.

Guess you're right.
So...you got any suggestions as to where I can find the off-switch?

No such thing! No such bloody thing. And who would want to?

Ok - the muse can be an inconvenient bitch at times, and she can make one incredibly anti-social, but I for one find the musings are better out than in. My metaphors all concern the alimentary canal, and are simple but unpleasant, so I tend not to use them.

Btw - she rode me hard yesterday, and I'd appreciate your comments. I am still working on the four lines that Chai commented on, which I disliked the most as well. I have made the other changes which I told him I would, plus a few more tweaks besides.

Dear Ben

I hear that your writing is like good sex.
How nice for you.
Pinniped's, however, is more like masturbation.

Yours coolly,

The Weddell

The after-effects are like the after-effects of good sex. But writing is definitely mental masturbation, but harder work, and frequently much more messy.
