first step
These are two facts about my creative process I am sharing with the world in a hope to break their old lady vice grip on my brain:
- If I have to come up with a subject to write about, the first sentence that runs through my mind is “I like cheese”. Every time.
- If I have to come up with a name, the first name that pops into my head is Stampy. (Yes. The elephant.) Every time.
There is no punchline. Punchlines imply an ending.
This will, in all likelihood, continue until the doctor turns off my ventilator and – as the light fades from my eyes – asks me if I can suggest a good name for her puppy.

Speaking of cheese, I’ve given you an award. I expect you will reject it with your usual elan, and rightly so.

What do you mean ‘cheese’ can only lead in one direction? Are you really thinking about the subject, before dismissing its ’sameness’? How about the moon being made of ‘cheese’; a photographer issuing instrutions,’Say CHEESE!’ Cheese with holes, blue cheese, hard cheese, soft cheese…I could probably go on at length, but as this is your blog, not mine, I’d better shut up.

You have a creative process? That sounds so cool. Is it Linux-based?

Thank gawd some blogs do not change. Glad I was able to return to the blogosphere and find this little corner of snarkiness still intact. I don’t care what creative process you use – just keep using it!

Really, Sween? REALLY? You don’t post in over a month? The hell?
And I still maintain that you’re a dead ringer for one Mr. Dick Valentine of Electric Six.
