Lately I've been using what
I call the projectile vomit approach.


The process goes like this: An idea stirs around my head gathering speed and dust, small flurries pick up more words and I practice saying them inside my head. I think about the words I will say and feel my mouth forming them.

I worry and wait, listening for the right pause to happen so I can jump right in, and then all of a sudden there is a window of opportunity and I know that if I don't seize it and fill up that space with my words then it will rush by me, a wasted moment.

So I grab it for all it is worth and in that moment it's all me and my words, and my heart pounds a little bit faster and I realize that I have a lot more to say then the words I just practiced saying inside my head and I am smartand that lurking dog puts his tail between his legs and lurks his way into the corner.
