Dear Reader, 
Does your creativity need a hug? I don’t want to sound pathetic here, but dang it, sometimes my creativity needs a hug. It’s tough being right-brained in a left-brained world. This is what I expect of my creativity every day:
“Wake up, Dudette, you’ve got work to do. You’ve got to sit up at your computer and write interesting stuff. I’m sorry that we didn’t get to go to the movie like I promised yesterday, but there’s always next weekend.”
“Can we have popcorn, chocolate raisins, a pickle and a large coke, this time?”
“Only if I take out a loan. Look, we have popcorn at home. Here, I micro waved it for you. I even took it out of the bag and put in a nice bowl like you like it. I’m sorry the coke is flat. I didn’t get to the grocery store either cause we have this deadline and you better get busy and help me or we’ll never see another movie again.”
“What do you want me to write?”
“I don’t know. You’re the creative one. You always come up with something. What’s the big deal? Cat got your tongue?”
“Let’s play with the kitty. Here kitty, kitty, kitty.”
"Now Dudette, the kitty isn’t going to help us get this article written. Put her down. Now there’s cat hair everywhere. Look, you made her scratch me.”
“I want to go read my romance novel.”
“Over my dead body. No way are we going to stoop to that drivel. I am a real writer. We don’t read lovey-crummies.”
“Fantasy?”
“No.”
“Vampires?”
“No.”
“What can I read?”
“This article you’re writing for a start.”
“I don’t wanna write. I wanna play. You make me work too hard and you aren’t any fun any more. You’re mean. I quit!”
Excuse me, Dear Reader, this article probably won’t get finished because my creative Dudette needs a hug. I have to admit I have been pushing her too hard lately and she isn’t a machine that I can turn on and off like a faucet. We’re headed out to see a movie.
“Can I have a more popcorn, chocolate raisins, a pickle and a coke that’s not flat?”
“Yes, that and a hug. Hugs don’t have calories.”
