Fiesta de la Brain Dear Reader/Writers, A writer's brain is always trying to spin stories. When I give writng workshops, I sometimes mention the glory of MIS-hearing things and letting my brain make creaive sense of it. That happened again this morning. I'm not sure what was said on the radio, but what I heard wouldn't have fit the context. I heard "flotsam adolescents". What a perfect term for teens left flailing after a family disaster. I'm using it! Let your brain run free and, oh yeah, KEEP SWIMMING! Terri P.S. If you're not sure of the difference between flotsam & jetsam (not the LITTLE MERMAID eels!) here's the Wikki def-- jetsam has been voluntarily cast into the sea flotsam describes goods that are floating on the water without having been thrown in deliberately, often after a shipwreck Permalink to this blog post Posted by Terri Farley @ 7:49 AM Comments: Post a Comment |
