Once in a while you need distractions to become inspired as a writer. That’s why most writers will, at least the writers I know and that I heard of, looking for inspiration whilst visiting events where a selected group of individuals gathered together in a not to big room and take a booze. As my friend Rene always states: ‘A man has to drink, otherwise he will die!’
It was this friend of mine that gave a little party on day 22, because he is leaving the Netherlands for three weeks to go with his wife to a place called Suriname (I don’t know if it’s called like this in other countries, but I know that it is in the North of South America). Rene has his own kind of humor. In most cases he is very funny and that is probably the main reason that I am going once a week to his place to help drinking the beer. I’m doing this now almost every wednesday for thirteen years and it’s still a nice break of the week. In one room of his home he has build a complete bar where we meet. Of course it’s not just Rene and me. It’s a whole club. The club is called VTBAM and this stands for (try to translate) Society To Support Alcohol Abuse (or something like that). This is not to offend people (actually it was) and there are no alcoholists involved. We are just a couple of people breaking the week and laughing a lot.
I always got inspired by people who are going out. You can study every signal they send without noticing it themself and so on. However, in fact this evening I just needed some fun and wanted a boost of endorphine in my brain. That’s what I needed and what I got.
Because I knew that I wouldn’t make a wordcount video at the end of the day that ended eventually at four o’clock in the morning, I made the video at 15.00 and my wordcount was 29222. This wasn’t that bad.
A little surprising to me, when I watched back the following wordcount video, was that I not just improved my typing speed (as described in the video) but als ended the day with 36005 woords. That means that I wrote quite a lot, even thoug I had a party one day before. You could say that every writer who is going to take a boost is right. It’s inspiring from time to time.
