Day Three: Submarines and Yellow Daisies

"Row, row, row your boat
Underneath the stream
Ha-ha I fooled you
It's a submarine!"

I love her sooooo much. She is amazing. And while her blog may sound completely misanthropic she really is very funny and bubbly and overall just amazing and I love her. Her blogs are really very creative and she's a very talented writer.

I was thinking about writing today. I think it's because I wore my yellow daisy in my hair. For no reason other than dressing as an attractive peasant girl with short term memory loss for Spanish class. I think it makes me get really creative. It is the same flower I wear when I tap to "I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker With Flowers In My Hair". Dancing, writing...expression in the most superior forms.

I found a website full of quotes for writers, and I thought about one that really stuck in my head:

“Writing is like driving at night in the fog.
You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that
way.” --E.L. Doctorow

I think that's really...insightful. Interesting. True.

Maybe that's why I love writing. Especially poetry. You don't know anyhting except what you are writing that very second. You write what pops into your head at any second and it can make no sense, but it can make a lot of sense. Or it can make sense that it doesn't make any sense at all. Writing is personal and no one can tell you it is wrong, because who know what you are thinking besides you? Nobody. And who should know what you are thinking besides you? Nobody. No one can tell you what to write, just like no one can tell you what to think or feel. And don't let anyone think otherwise. Because the second you do, that person throws you out of your car, turns off your headlights and drives your car straight off of a cliff.

Today's Inspirational Quote:

"Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it's at the end of your arm. As you get older, remember you have another hand: the first is to help yourself, the second is to help others."-- Audrey Hepburn

I'll break any arms who try to get their hands on your steering wheel.
