lagilman | Return of Writerbrain 101

All too often, the external world and whatever you're working on will come together in a massive oh-scuse-me-spilled-coffee moment.

This morning, discussing Jan Brewer's veto of the pro-discrimination bill (Jan, it should NOT have taken you that many meetings to figure it out), I said "II've found that people who hate viciously often are quite stupid (if not ignorant). They fixate on one idea and can never quite get past that..."

And then my eyes opened far wider than they ever should before that first cup of coffee, and I scurried off to make notes on a scene that hadn't quite gelled before.

Be nice to your lizard brain. It's working even when the mammal brain is sound asleep.
