Sometimes writing feels like taking a shit.

I once dreamt I was at a fancy dress ball in a gown and had to poo and the only toilet was in the center of the ballroom floor.

This is what writing feels like.

Both humiliating and liberating.

I guess when you have an idea and can't find a pen it's like having to take a shit and not being able to find a toilet. Even one on the ballroom floor. I don't know which one is worse.

But with the ballroom, at least once you're done, it's over. And eventually people forget you anyway.
