For @daily.prompt/28-may-2026-freewriters-community-daily-writing-prompt-day-3117-a-vat-of-wine
I don't think a vat of wine is how I want this to go, but there's a part of me that's having trouble starting the task... I want to be producing volumes of written work - comedy... Stand-up stuff. Maybe written comedy - but stuff that I think will be funny and then I write it down and I keep working on it until it's a good chunk of funny. I think I'd really enjoy writing for something like Climate Town. Sometimes I do get into a flow and I write things that are funny. But I want to decide to write...
You know I think I know the problem.
I need to research something deeply, and funny things do occur to me while I'm reading. I need to just jot them down and then revisit them, and make a practice of that. Maybe the problem is that I'm setting time to write. I need to set time to read and write simultaneously. Nothing more devastating than an empty page. I generate nothing from nothing. I also need to... nothing
But a vat of wine is .... it, that kind of thing,,, works because your mind fills up the mental page with scribbles and then there's sometimes something to work with. But I don't need that if I find a better process, like by starting writing while I read. I gotta read more. And maybe gotta read things that seem dry so that my mind feels the need to fit in funny. Like, sometimes I read stuff on the science publication...like the nih. whatever site. because I'm looking for actual studies, not the filtered headline-catching stuff... do more of that. Set myself a goal of reading ...something
