That moment when you find out that a super blackout-drunk hookup you had with a stranger at a dance was not a secret all along. It seemed so much funnier when I thought it would never come back to haunt me…

1. Notepad

2. Pen (RSVP Pental, black)

3. Cold Beverage

4. Good view (outdoors preferably) 

5. Dark and twisted movie

Step One: Uncap pen, put it to paper and pause for a long while. 

Step Two: Decide you’re not ready to write yet. Curse your inability to focus.

Step Three: Take a sip of drink. Mull over possible ideas.

Step Four: Put on dark and twisted movie (right now it’s Savage Grace). Fucked up movies always get my creative juices flowing. I’m not sure why. 

Step Five: Brain begins to flood with ideas. Pause movie and write them down.

Step Six: Blink. Look around. Realize the movie has been on pause for two hours and review what you’ve written. If more than half of it is less than rubbish then consider it a successful day.

The last time I looked at the clock this evening it was 11:11pm. I made a wish. I looked at the clock again just a moment ago and it was 1:11 am. That’s a lot of ones. There is no other point to this post. Carry on.
