The Monkey Exhibit

Not too long ago, I could sit down with the merest idea in my head and begin writing a little something that, to me at least, was kind of interesting or entertaining. These days, I have so many things running through my head at all times, too many of them work and real life issues, that it’s hard to concentrate on creativity. I think about stories I had begin in the past. I know what my plans for the stories were, but I can’t get myself back into that mindset.

I wish to return to them. I want back into the worlds that my mind has cleverly created. Is that a bad thing? See, I know there are important real-world things that I don’t want to miss…it seems I’m looking for, how do they put it, the best of both worlds.

If that is unhealthy, then keep me in the real world.
