Getting Creative Juices Flowings
To get the creative juices flowing, I wrote a fictitious interview between me and a Frenchman named Andre’ Jules. He was asking me how I’d approach a lady. Get her attention. Yes, WIN her over I’d dare say. What WOULD I say? We go back and forth for about 2 1/2 pages and the interview concludes with me, dejected, listening as the Frenchmen helps me understand how to wow the ladies, show them I’m the one that can fulfill their dreams and fantasies.
Suddenly, it strikes me like a renegade ship mast upon the forehead; THIS MAN IS FUNNY! I burst into uncontrollable laughter. Don Juan my friend, who do you think you’re talking to? I’ll offer to buy her a drink, fix her PC, program her Tivo and if things are going well, offer her my thoughts on why Moby Dick has no business being the subject of academic study, but sweep someone of their feet I doubt. But I tell ya, through this process I learned a couple new things about myself. Entertained myself too. It was fun. I want to write once again. Mission accomplished….
