We all know Writer's block and use it profusely without any regard to whether we possess any writing prowess and/or creativity.
Dumbfounded is not equal to calm and quiet. So, is Writer's block. If you just can't write does not mean you are experiencing a block.
The few times that I had used or atleast wished to my alter ago snorted and smirked killing all the flourish that came with the words and I just... mellowed down, let's say.
Now for some reason this morning, I realised how I always write in short and hurried bursts once in a few months and then just nothing for months and years. Not that what I write are great pieces of work either! :(
That's when the words (or henceforth the 'term') just walked into my mind and sat there looking at me impatiently, as though it was getting bored until my stupid brain caught up and realised it had to share it with you all.
Well, enough of nonsense and nothing...I present to you a new term of my coinage...."Writer's Vomit". Yes, that is what I am going to call and insist you do...
Nah just kidding...
You would think I was!
Please...! :(
No, I am not begging!!
NOT.
Well, once again nonsense and nothing aside...
I think it is justified to use the term though for such periods of harried writing that most of the amatuers go through. I lead by example, see! I just had to write this down. Holding back only made it worse. The urge was so strong you felt quirmy and uncomfortable, unable to sit out whatever you were about to do. Nothing is comfortable except for getting it out. The more it is 'ALL of it', the better.
And for most of us, (ok, some of us, whatever...) what comes out is quite putrid and reeking; all that we have ingested from the world, either fully, or in most cases partially, digested!
And do I really have to say it? Ok fine, yes people do not enjoy going through the contents, No!
And someone usually has to clean up after you.
And if you are sick/sad (figuratively), it just falls back on you to clean it up!
Told you it all fits well!! :D
Now, the most interesting thing is that the ones going through the contents, or even watching you do it, get the urge too! Tell me it's not true!? How many of us have penned down, vomitting half baked stuff just because we were "ïnspired"?! I've done it loads of time.
I've even searched for it on Google to make sure I was not untittingly "plaigarised" someone else's words. Here is the proof. ;)
So yes, I hereby Coin the term Writer's Vomit! Feel free t use it ;) On me too yes.... :P
On a side note, I did contemplate Writer's Orgasm but I could not identify this writing urge with it entirely, to be honest. I mean look at how multifaceted and (satisfyingly) justifiable Writer's Vomit is to describe - not to mention the crooked fun - what we go through and end up producing? May be we can reserve that for a work resulting in a good piece but not my personal choice. I leave it to you...:P
Thank you for reading. I would much appreciate, comments and conversations here, than on my FB post if you found this through there. Cheers!

Funny and contemplative! Nevertheless, you always give out works of great relish, I say!
