I'll let you all in on a little "writer's secret" of mine...I sometimes will come up with the post title first then write the piece to fit the title. I don't do this all the time but once in awhile I'll have a cool title and I will just write something to fit the title. The problem is that some times the substance of the post isn't as good as the clever or unique title I came up with first.
I can tell you right now that I am really reaching to put this post together. Some of it is it just isn't happening...the post subject/title isn't working right but a big part of it is my continued....exhaustion. YEP, when I get close to a bed or to laying down...I fall out and nod off. But if I try to lay down....I'm SUDDENLY WIDE AWAKE like I am right now. It is incredibly frustrating to be on this roll coaster ride and not feel like I can get off...
Anyway I am just going to shut it down....
I do the same thing myself, quite often. I will think of a cool title and work the actual content around it.
ReplyDeleteI have also found the content doesn't live up to the expectations the title sets.
Yea the content sure fizzled out this time, didn't it?! At least I know that I'm ill and with out sleep so there is a legitimate reason.
ReplyDeleteIan, been thinking a lot about you lately. Hope all is going well with you during the transition back to Dublin. Peace Brother!
