Imagine my brain is a bowl of water and fish, a fishbowl or aquarium of sorts. If I don't change the water regularly the water clouds, fish die and it starts to stink. This is my brain when I'm not writing regularly. School assignments don't count. Professional writing, scholarly writing doesn't help me at all. It's a labor. It makes my mind work. It's awesome when the water is clean but it's just agitating a murky pool if it hasn't been kept up.
When it gets bad like this it's really hard to remember everything. It's hard to get all the fish out of the murky water. If I dump the water I lose some really good Ideas. If I don't keep up on my thoughts they just start adding to the murk.
