sometimes i feel like peanut butter.
it's an acquired taste.
spreadable.
goes good with lots of things.
and horrible with many others.
if bread were life, then I am spread reeeeeeaaaaallly thin. i'm going every direction at once, so fast i can't even look before suddenly i'm somewhere new.
dad tells me i talk fast.
i write fast.
i sing fast.
i walk fast.
go go go go go.
i think fast.
bam bam bam.
not always nonsense though.
sometimes it's useful.
sometimes it's crazy.
but there's always a little reason in madness.
this post has been an exercise in stream-of-consciousness writing. brought to you by the letter Q and the number 5!
Stream of consciousness is a style of writing that is fun to write, but sometimes hard to read. Popularized by Joyce, Sinclair, Dostoevsky, Faulkner and Salinger, the style allows you to get into the character's head. Done right, a reader can become the character. It's more emotional. It's rugged, raw, human, and incredibly creative.
Try it sometime.
Let loose.
Let go.
write.
