The problem with writing something new every day is
that some days there is nothing new to write. The days where one gets buried
under the monotony of daily existence and creativity seems to be somewhat
stifled, and one can just not write or create! Unstifling the stifled is often
the first thing that comes to mind, but how does one unstifle exactly?
I’m glad you
asked! I’m here today to tell you the three steps to becoming unstifled!
What is this? Who are you?
You seem
confused, and a trifle overstifled! My quick and easy five step program can
help with that!
You literally
just said it was a three step program. I can still see where you typed it!
Now, now young
lady, don’t get all in a bother!
I’m not—doesn’t
matter. Who are you?
Well young
master, let’s just say that I can fix your problems. I can make it so your
creativity never gets stifled again. Would you like that?
I guess so? I
would get to be creative all the time. I could really focus on my art. Ok. What’s
the five step program?
Six step.
It say’s five step like seven or eight lines ago!
Now it’s an
eight step program. Keep it up, lass.
Okay, sorry.
What are the eight steps?
Step one:
Acceptance
Wait—acceptance? Isn’t that a little clichéd?
Acceptance is
always the first step.
Okay, okay.
What’s step two?
Now’s when it
gets tricky, fraulein. Step two: cry about it until an imaginary voice comes
and talks to you.
Kay. One:
ouch. Two: you’re typing, I can’t hear you.
Everything is a
matter of perspective, no?
…You may have a point.
Damn straight I
do, Milly. Step three: drop the sarcasm and the bitterness, and look for the
problem.
That one’s
actually helpful.
Step four:
ignore the problem and find its roots.
That one doesn’t
make sense. Isn’t the problem already the root?
Dandelions are
a problem, the roots are the cause.
That’s deep.
Okay, I can try that. Thanks for the help.
Where are you
going?
I got my
answers, I’m leaving.
Eight step
program remember?
You originally
said it was only a three step program.
I changed my
mind. Well, our mind technically. I am just a spectre of your own creation
after all! Now. Step five: Don’t pull the roots out, dig them out.
Wait, I got
this one. You dig them out so you don’t miss anything right?
I’d smile in
answer, but you’re not really describing anything, so yeah. That’s right. Step
six: pile the roots in a nice pilelike shape.
Um…
Step seven:
burn the roots so they can never come back.
I don’t think
this—
Step eight:
scoop up the ashes with your new 2 Horse Power Gladiator Shovel! Yours for only
seventeen payments of $32.68!
I’m done.
But wait! Order
now, and get it for only nine payments!
