When you have a wide imagination and don’t know what to do with it, writing is the best medicine. They say creative people are lazy people, crazy people and sometimes dangerous people because their imagination can throw themselves overboard right down to the depths of purely unlimited freedom into the square root of madness adding to the mind an infinite number of fantasies that can stretch far beyond a myriad of whopping Galaxies. 

Write anything. Just about anything from poems to prayers to promises to lovers to dreamers and even Eros to Phileo to Agape to Storge or Chillers, Thrillers, Horrors , Ravens, Cthulhus to Jokers , Clowns , Rumpelstilzchen and Leprechauns to Alice in Wonderland and well..Maybe even Loony Tunes... 

Always begin at the doorstep, place your fingers right on the door knob and begin to turn it slowly, slowly now.. and there you go , in seconds a somewhat secluded yet delusional mind is flooding with words , sentences…paragraphs , it’s so fast that the fingers cannot process the speed of thinking and a pause to re think what was thought can make an idea vanish forever hidden in those left to right secret chambers of your magical lobe. 

Just as I am writing , now, the thoughts projecting in my head are at the speed of light that my fingers can hardly keep up or let alone my eyes to read what I am writing or even pause to think what I am thinking. Writing for creative people is the best way to kill boredom which is quite a hyperactive symptom. 

Studying the biographies of Fantasy writers such as Lewis Carroll to macabre writers such as Edgar Allan Poe and going on to Gothic writes such as H. P Lovecraft and modern Weird Horror post Apocalyptic writes such as Stephen King, it’s quite evident that writing anything did not begin with a sane person. The tensions of life mixed with a creative mind that boosted hysteria to a level above normal thinking, so much as to still wonder what was the beginning and the end of tales so vividly written , is much talked of even today . 

Don’t you still enjoy the story of “Alice in Wonderland” or chill at the sound of “The Murders in the Rue Morgue” & "The Call of Cthulhu" or scratch your head to think what just happened after reading or watching “The Secret Window”. 

Of course there are others. But this is just for starters! A little Mayhem till next time..
