Problems Solved

Whenever I am besieged by life's little dramas, I tend to retreat into my man cave and immediately proceed to make matters worse by dwelling on them!

Churchill had his famous 'Black Dog' and I have my Island Of Black. It is a barren and wretched place were all creativity becomes stifled as I ponder ever deeper into the mire of shit that my problems become.

Then I discovered writing, and how writing about a problem helps to solve it. Once the demon has been put to print it becomes obvious to me what the solution may be; and this method has proved successful over time.

It won't always work however, but it will give you a fresh perspective on it. Try it.

Though I have to admit that if I were ever to be pursued along a corridor by flesh eating zombies, stopping to write about it might not be the brightest solution.
