It took a while, but I finally cracked it.
I just have no idea how.
As I mentioned yesterday, I spent part of the weekend writing not one but two TV bits (one for last night and one for Memorial Day). I spent a fair amount of time on the one for last night, if only because I knew what I wanted to write about—people from downstate—but I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to say. I've spent a chunk of the past two and a half years making fun of Trolls, and as I was writing several different versions of the bit I realized I had already cracked the same jokes before. And since I really don't like repeating the same bits over & over I started to think that maybe I should come up with a different topic.
Then my brain did that thing I really don't understand, and five minutes later the piece was complete and, at least in my opinion, kinda good.
For whatever reason.
I've written in here before that I really don't understand how inspiration works, and maybe, in the grand scheme of things, we're not supposed to know how it works. We're just supposed to let it wash over us and, when done, be thankful it was there. I mean, I know that's how I feel about last night's piece. It wasn't working and then, out of the blue, it was. I'm not gonna complain nor am I ungrateful it happened.
It just did.
So here's what inspiration threw into my brain without notice over the weekend. All I can say is that I'm thankful it actually happened. Otherwise, I might have had to do something OTHER than make fun of people downstate.
And where's the fun in that?
