"Blarggralb"

In her book The Artist’s Way, Julia Cameron urges readers to write three pages longhand every morning. She calls them “Morning Pages,” so I do to, although I don’t always get them done in the morning. The idea is to get your mind working and your hand moving, putting words on paper, without any self-censoring or hesitation. I sometimes hear authors (songwriters, artists, etc.) talk about “flow,” that wonderful state of being when work somehow transcends itself and begins to proceed seemingly with no human interference. The author is merely a conduit for the words to speed along on their way to the paper. I’ve rarely experience flow; I’m more like a sputtering spout with poor drainage. But sometimes it’s fun to just dash something off for the sheer silliness of the project. Hence, “Blarggralb,” another follow-up to the legendary “Blarg.”
