Writers are an odd lot...

Sometimes I think it would be interesting to sdrawkcab etirw just to see the comments I would get after posting. Our brains are wired a certain way and when we creative types challenge that wiring system, simultaneous cerebral explosions occur instantaneously. Welcome to my world. A world where viewing things from the downside up, inside out, and sometimes through a squinted left eye only, paint a slightly different picture than what you might see through your two, normally focused eyes.

If we were to meet on the street, greet and take a seat, you would think I am perfectly normal and rather sane by all outward appearances. It is when we start the journey through an untethered brain that the possibility of questions might roust your suspicions about my connection to reality. That's okay. If we all viewed the world in the exact same way, we would be drones and the color of life would be gone...forever. I have made it my personal challenge to keep the colors around me vibrant and deep. Infused with laughter and curiosity, I want those colors to wrap round me and guide me to the intense joy of life.

I am a writer. Not by choice, but certainly by accident. I have a lot to say and sometimes my voice gets tired, so out of necessity I have to write. Words spill out of me like the colored bits of a broken kaleidoscope. No story is simple. It must be explored, absorbed, contemplated, digested, wadded up and tossed about, after all, when telling a story you are painting a word picture. How dull it would be if all word pictures were two dimensional, black and white, sleepy stories. Letting the geometric patterns of a story expand and grow creates one of the most beautiful, captivating, delicious word experiences known to man. So I write.

What will I blog about? It will be interesting to see. My brain hasn't caught up with this new idea yet, so once it does, this blog might make sense...but then again...well, you get the picture! Strap on your goggles and throw on a scarf, it might get a little windy up in the clouds!
